Player analysis
Player insights
Carnell Tate
PositiveBreakout5:54
Carnell Tate has impressed in training camp with his ability to run a full route tree and explosive athleticism. While he is a solid prospect, he faces concerns regarding quarterback play from Cam Ward and a weak Tennessee offensive line. His ceiling is likely capped at a fourth-round level compared to Jordan Tyson.
Insight pageCarson Beck
PositiveBust40:11
Carson Beck is a risky draft pick despite some preseason hype. His performance against the Panthers was against a vanilla defense that did not scheme against him. He is expected to struggle once he faces complex NFL defensive looks, and there is significant doubt about his long-term job security as the team is likely to target a top quarterback in the upcoming draft.
Insight pageCeeDee Lamb
NegativeProjection15:20
CeeDee Lamb is the clear WR1 in Dallas, and Breaking Bad. Brad argues that Dak Prescott cannot support two top-10 fantasy wide receivers. While Lamb is a top-tier talent, his fantasy ceiling could be impacted by a potentially improved Dallas defense that may not need to pass as frequently.
Insight pageChris Olave
NegativeBust30:36
Breaking Bad. Brad and Walter advise against drafting Chris Olave in the second round due to his extensive concussion history and previous health scares involving blood clots. They argue that despite his talent, the injury risk makes him an overpay at his current ADP, especially compared to the potential of younger receivers on the roster.
Insight pageChristian McCaffrey
NegativeInjury4:09
Christian McCaffrey is already dealing with tightness or tenderness and was sidelined from practice, which fits a recurring 'one year on, one year off' injury pattern. Given his heavy workload last year as a 30-year-old running back, drafting him in the first round is a high-risk move that ignores his history of missed time in 2020 and 2021.
Insight pageNegativeBust18:33
Breaking Bad. Brad advises against drafting Christian McCaffrey in the first round, citing his age (30), extensive career workload, and chronic Achilles tendonitis. He argues that McCaffrey is an injury risk and likely to suffer another setback, making him an ultimate losing pick at his current mid-first-round ADP.
Insight pageNegativeBust42:29
Christian McCaffrey is identified as a potential bust candidate for the 2024 season, with the recommendation to avoid drafting him if the goal is to win the league rather than finish in the bottom half of the standings.
Insight pageChristian Watson
NegativeBust27:26
Breaking Bad. Brad and Walter label Christian Watson a bust at his fourth-round ADP due to his inability to stay healthy and failure to crack 621 yards in a season. They highlight his extensive injury history, including hamstring issues and a torn ACL, and suggest he is a high-risk asset who should only be considered in the sixth or seventh round.
Insight pageDe'Von Achane
NegativeUsage33:27
Breaking Bad. Brad and Walter have mixed views on Devon Achane. Brad is concerned about his sustainability, stacked boxes, and the possibility of Miami limiting his touches late in the season to secure a high draft pick. Walter notes that while Achane is inconsistent for redraft, his explosive talent makes him a strong asset in best ball formats.
Insight pageGeorge Pickens
NegativeBust15:02
George Pickens is a major bust candidate at his current ADP of 18 overall. He is being drafted as a WR1, but he is effectively the WR2 behind CeeDee Lamb. History suggests two receivers from the same team rarely both finish as top-10 fantasy assets. Additionally, Pickens has a history of quitting on his team when disgruntled, and an improved Dallas defense may lead to fewer passing attempts in the fourth quarter.
Insight pageJames Conner
NegativeUsage38:59
James Conner is considered washed as a runner but remains a reliable pass protector and receiver out of the backfield. He is expected to be trusted with third-down duties, at least for the first half of the season, before potentially ceding more work to younger players later in the year.
Insight pageJeremiyah Love
NegativeBreakout36:46
Walter expresses optimism about Jeremiah Love, drafting him based on his elite talent and the significant investment the team made in him. While acknowledging the risk of a bust, Walter views him as a core running back and believes his talent will lead to a great season.
Insight pageNegativeBust37:20
Jeremiah Love is a major bust candidate for 2024 due to being on a poor team with a bad offensive line, similar to the situation Achane faced last year. Unlike Achane, Love faces competition for touches from other running backs, specifically Tyler Allgeier, who is expected to handle goal-line work. Additionally, James Conner is projected to handle third-down duties early in the season due to his pass-protection reliability. While Love is a talented player, his 2024 outlook is capped by his team's poor situation and lack of a clear, high-volume role.
Insight pageJonathan Taylor
NegativeBust22:19
Jonathan Taylor is a bust candidate because his best years are likely behind him. He struggled down the stretch last year when teams stacked the box against him. With key receivers like Josh Downs and Alec Pierce dealing with injuries, defenses will focus entirely on stopping Taylor, making him an overvalued pick in the first or second round.
Insight pageNegativeBust42:29
Jonathan Taylor is identified as a potential bust candidate for the 2024 season, with the recommendation to avoid drafting him if the goal is to win the league rather than finish in the bottom half of the standings.
Insight pageJordyn Tyson
PositiveBreakout6:57
Jordan Tyson is viewed as a superior prospect to Carnell Tate due to his size, explosive athleticism, and role in a more up-tempo offense. He has the potential to produce at a second or third-round level, especially if Chris Olave misses time.
Insight pageKeaton Mitchell
NegativeUsage10:06
Keaton Mitchell is not viewed as a viable fantasy threat despite reports of a committee approach. Breaking Bad. Brad explicitly dismisses the hype surrounding him, suggesting he will not see meaningful offensive volume.
Insight pageKimani Vidal
NegativeUsage10:06
While there is noise about Kamani Vidal seeing playing time in every game, it is likely limited to special teams or occasional third-down work. He does not pose a significant threat to the primary workload of the lead back.
Insight pageOmarion Hampton
PositiveUsage10:06
Despite reports suggesting a three-headed backfield committee, Omarion Hampton remains the clear lead back for the Chargers by a massive margin. The coaching staff that drafted him is still in place, and the team is expected to utilize him heavily rather than splitting work evenly.
Insight pageRashee Rice
NegativeBust19:42
Breaking Bad. Brad and Walter argue that Rashee Rice is a major bust candidate due to significant off-field character issues, including a multi-car crash, suspension, and domestic abuse allegations. Statistically, they contend he is overvalued as a second-round pick, noting the Chiefs' offense has struggled and Patrick Mahomes has declined in accuracy on passes 10+ yards downfield since losing Tyreek Hill.
Insight pageTee Higgins
PositiveBust23:34
Breaking Bad. Brad and Walter view Tee Higgins as a bust at his current third-round ADP because he is the WR2 on his team. They project a target ceiling of 110 and expect a decline, noting that Cincinnati's improved defense may reduce fourth-quarter passing volume. They suggest he should be drafted in the fifth round instead.
Insight pageTravis Etienne
NegativeBust25:34
Breaking Bad. Brad and Walter advise against drafting Travis Etienne in the fourth round, noting he was benched for Tank Bigsby in 2024. They argue his situation in New Orleans is worse than in Jacksonville, as Alvin Kamara remains the primary pass-catching back, limiting Etienne's upside.
Insight pageTyler Allgeier
PositiveRole38:26
Tyler Allgeier is expected to maintain a significant role in the offense, specifically handling goal-line carries. The team values him, as evidenced by him receiving the first carry in training camp, and he is viewed as a threat to steal touchdown opportunities from other running backs on the roster.

Episode Transcript
0:00We're gonna save your entire fantasy football season. In this video, we're talking about the top 10 busts.
0:05Buckle up, strap in, because a lot of the Kinsheepsis, we were just talking about this before the show, Walter and I,
0:11a lot of the Kinsheepsis are out there just spitting out the same garbage from last year.
0:16This guy finished on top, drafted him again in that order.
0:19They're just going based on ADP consensus. That's not how you're gonna win your league.
0:23In this episode, we're gonna warn you, we're gonna tell you, do not draft these big name players, the wild and wonderful Walter on the show.
0:30What's going on, Walter? You ready to dive in?
0:33Yeah, let's go wild and wonderful. Here we go.
0:35Talking about how to not draft these players at all, like you're gonna lose your fantasy season.
0:40I always say a lot of these players are going to talk about like first, second, third round.
0:45I always say that like you can't win your draft in the first round, because a lot of other people drafting the
0:51first round, they're gonna get good players. You can lose your draft this way if you draft guys with high risks and stuff like that.
0:58So we're gonna tell you not to do that and not to draft these guys.
1:03Absolutely. I'm ready to dive in. We start this show with Breaking Bad.
1:06Brad, we're gonna get to that in a moment here.
1:09If you're new to the channel, make sure you guys subscribe, thumbs up and make sure you guys do grab the 16 round draft solution.
1:16Do not draft without it. I'm telling you guys, sleepers, breakouts, optimal players, head on over right now.
1:21thefantasyfootballcounselor.com I've linked it below. Get the solution. I've just updated Walter.
1:24I just did an update there where you get the full cheat sheet and you get a full mock draft drafted from the 12th spot.
1:31June, we drafted, I think, from the first spot.
1:34July, we drafted from the sixth spot. So you get the full scope of how to draft based on where your draft position is.
1:41Full everything. Sleepers, breakouts, grab 60 rounds. You'll never look back.
1:44And also, if you guys have not bookmarked the site WalterFootball.com for everything football, they focus mainly on the draft.
1:49That's where they specialize. But listen, he's got a lot of stuff going on.
1:53Fantasy. I think your rankings are up now, right, Walter?
1:56Oh, yeah. Fantasy rankings, sleepers, busts, values, like mid-round values, like everything.
1:59You could possibly want them. I'm going to have best player or worst player from each round as well.
2:05So tons of fantasy content. NFL picks against the spread, preseason starting.
2:08Last year, last August, we went 7-2-1 against the spread in the preseason.
2:12So that's going to be up as well. And then during the season, obviously, the picks there.
2:16Confidence pool rankings, if you guys are in that.
2:19We have everything. We cover everything in the NFL.
2:21Oh, yeah. I have bookmarked. I check it daily.
2:24Make sure you guys do that as well. WalterFootball.com.
2:26All right. Well, we'll start off with the latest news and notes with guess who?
2:31It's Breaking Brad. We now have breaking news. It is with great urgency that we bring you these following messages.
2:36And this is from a few days ago. I want to talk about this, Walter.
2:40This is hilarious. I mean, this is not. It's hilarious for me.
2:44Not hilarious for people that can sheep. Isn't everyone drafting, you know, based on copy and paste here.
2:49But CMC already banged up. What is this? He's got tightness or tenderness or what the heck kind of BS is going on with CMC?
2:56Did you read about this? His tenderness or his tightness?
2:59And he's sidelined from practice a few days ago.
3:01I don't know what's going on, man, but it sounds like another injury is looming.
3:05Yeah, it's usually one year on, one year off with him.
3:08Last year was a year on. So the pattern says go year off.
3:12I mean, he's a 30-year-old running back who led the league in carries last year.
3:16And he gets a ton of catches as well.
3:19So he's got this huge workload and people still drafting him fifth, sixth overall.
3:23You know, talk about like can sheep this rankings, like just going by ADP.
3:27I think it's insane to take him that high.
3:29And he's one of the guys we're going to talk about.
3:32So I don't want to like ruin everything here.
3:35But yeah, he I don't I have nothing to do with him.
3:38I've done about 110 best ball drafts so far.
3:41I've taken him in zero of those. So I'm not surprised at all to hear this.
3:45Other news here. I again, this is from yesterday and I'm trying to keep it.
3:49We record this the day before, but we try to keep you guys up to date as possible.
3:54But I'm hearing really good news from Carnell Tate.
3:57Apparently he has impressed during his first training camp per many writers here and his rookie's ability to run full route trees among standout traits.
4:04Apparently he's the most explosive guy at a training camp.
4:07Carnell Tate, a guy drafted in April, continues to skyrocket, I think, based on just hype here.
4:11Are you sold? I mean, you guys on WalterFootball.com study this more than pretty much anybody on the entire planet.
4:17I mean, you're not as high on Carnell Tate as a talentist as you are Jordan Tyson.
4:22But how good is Carnell Tate, though, from a, you know, talent perspective?
4:25Well, you have to remember this draft class wasn't very good.
4:28It's like probably the worst draft class we've seen since 2013, which is like a brutal draft class.
4:33You go back and see it as awful. Carnell Tate should be like a really good receiver in the NFL.
4:39He's we had him like as a second secondary possession receiver, whereas Jordan Tyson.
4:43The reason why I like Jordan Tyson more, he's big and explosive.
4:46He's like a really explosive athlete, whereas like Tate is good athlete, but not not on the level of Jordan Tyson.
4:52And plus Jordan Tyson plays in a much more uptempo, like explosive offense.
4:56Whereas like the main concern I have about Tate, the two concerns.
4:59One is Cam Ward. I think Cam Ward was awful last year.
5:02Yeah, he played a little bit better down the stretch, but he had easier opponents, too.
5:07And he had a lot of garbage time touchdowns.
5:09The second concern I have is the offensive line in Tennessee is awful.
5:13They didn't really address it at all. They have Pete Skaronsky's great at guard.
5:17And then that's it. Like they don't have anything else in the offensive line.
5:21So you have those two things. And like I'm wondering, like, can can Carnell Tate hit a ceiling like Jordan Tyson?
5:27Like I think Jordan Tyson, he could produce on like a second round level, third round level this year, especially if Chris Olave goes down.
5:34Whereas like Tate, I feel like his ceiling's probably like fourth round.
5:37And yeah, like if you're getting fifth round, you might get some good value there.
5:41So it might not be a bad pick. But I just think the reason I have Tyson higher is just the ceiling's a lot higher.
5:48Definitely. I like Carnell Tate. I just think there's no, Chris Olave will talk about this later, but Chris Olave does, if
5:54he stays healthy, then it's definitely going to affect Tyson.
5:57But Carnell Tate does not have anything to compete with.
6:00I also want to talk about this Blippi. I don't know if you heard of Blippi, the coach for the Miami Dolphins, the Blippi lookalike, Mike McDaniel.
6:08Apparently saying here that the Chargers running backs, Omar in Hampton, Kamani Vidal, and Keaton Mitchell should all see playing time in every game.
6:14But here's the thing. Like he said that, but he didn't do that in Miami.
6:18But also another thing, that could mean that Vidal comes out for one run or, you know, that he's used in special
6:25teams or, you know, Mitchell's used, you know, on third downs twice in the game.
6:29Like I'm not really concerned by this news. It doesn't faze me.
6:32Like are you really concerned that it's going to be a three-headed monster?
6:36I don't see it, man. You've got to use your best player if you've got to win, which is Hampton by not
6:42even a small margin, but like a massive margin.
6:44Like Mitchell sucks. Like I don't know what this hype about Mitchell is.
6:48Yeah. Seattle did the same thing today. They said the same thing.
6:51They're going to use all three running backs. Well, like, yeah, they didn't say they're going to go 33, 33, 33.
6:57They said they're just going to use them. If they give a guy one carry or one catch or use them on special teams, they're using him, right?
7:05Like they didn't say like Hampton's just going to share the workload.
7:08They said that they're going to use all three.
7:11So I'm not concerned. I mean, they drafted this guy in the first round and the regime that drafted him is still there.
7:17It's not like they have a new coaching staff there that has no interest in them anymore.
7:22It's still the same guys who drafted him in the first round.
7:26So they're going to use them a lot. I wouldn't buy into this.
7:29If anything, it helps because it could mean that Hampton might fall to the middle round too, which would be awesome.
7:35Imagine the team morale. If McDaniel came out and said like, hey, we're just going to use Hampton, screw the other guys on.
7:41Like imagine that then those guys aren't going to be driven to push Hampton.
7:45They're not going to be motivated to wake up in the morning and show up to practice.
7:50Like you can't just go and say it's Hampton and we're just going to ignore the other guys.
7:55So I understand it. Like I'm not concerned at all.
7:58No, not at all. No. That's all I got for you guys from breaking Brad today.
8:02We now have breaking news. All right. We'll start with the first player.
8:06Make sure you guys do grab the 16 round draft solution.
8:09Do not draft without it. You're going to smash your league mates with ease.
8:13All right. First one is my guy. I know it should always let the, you know, the co-host or the guest on
8:19the show start first, but I'm rude. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not very nice here.
8:24Speaking of rude, I there, Connor has made it to Florida.
8:27I don't know if you ended up watching the episode with Tim, the bald guy, Connor's here and he was very rude on the last episode.
8:34If you guys are lucky, you may get a sneak peek at him, but we've had security.
8:39We have security on standby. If he ends up reacting the same way he did last time, breaking Brad had to get
8:45him in a choke hold to hold him down.
8:47Cause he snapped at Tim. So we've got Connors in the building.
8:51There may be an appearance. Are you ready to see Connor that can sheeps as Walter?
8:55I've been waiting all off season. He's excited to see.
8:58Yeah. Hopefully he's not as rude. Okay. So, so yeah, George Pickens, my first overall boss.
9:03I don't like him. There's not much to say here.
9:05I looked at his stats. I'm pulling him up here.
9:08He did have himself a good season in 2023, 1140 yards wise, five touchdowns.
9:12It was a good season. Fantasy wise, 208 points.
9:15That was his pinnacle season prior to last year.
9:17We kind of went off, you know, but here's the thing.
9:20Like, are we just kind of forgetting that CD lamb is there?
9:23Are we just going to both like a quick, according to the sheep, we see this every year where two wide receivers
9:30are drafted from the same team at the same ADP and one always bust like 99% of the time.
9:35Like George Pickens is being drafted as the one.
9:37Like that's how you're, if you're drafting him in the second to third round, which ADP's 18, like late second, you're telling
9:44me that he's the wide receiver one. You can't tell me that CD, like you're pretending that CD lamb is not there.
9:50Dak Prescott is not going to be able to feed two wide receiver ones.
9:54They're going to finish top 10 because they're both top 10 receivers.
9:57You're telling me that they're both going to finish top 10.
10:00That's what the kids are telling us now, Walter.
10:03I'm not buying this. I'm not buying this at all.
10:05It's BS. Yeah. So George Pickens helped me win my big money fantasy league last year, but I got him in the
10:12sixth round, not, not the 18th overall. That's insane to take a second receiver there.
10:16There are two, two big issues here with Pickens this year.
10:19One, he can easily quit on the team. He quit on the team last year.
10:23They played a game on Thursday night against the lions.
10:26People might remember it because it was very high scoring.
10:29Cowboys needed to win that game to contend for a playoff spot.
10:32Pickens just didn't show up. Like he didn't want to play.
10:35He was disgruntled and he did this in Pittsburgh too.
10:38Like there's, there's a history of this. So I don't want anything to do with this.
10:42Now he's, he's unhappy because of the contract situation.
10:45Like he could quit on the team mid season.
10:47Yeah. The other, the other thing is like the, the big case for Pickens last year, it was like, okay, Dallas's defense is awful.
10:54They're going to have to throw a lot in the fourth quarter.
10:57Well, I know, I know some professional handicappers who love Dallas as a value to win the Super bowl this year.
11:03And then I asked why, and they're like, oh, the defense can be a lot better.
11:08Well, the defense can be a lot better. They're not going to have to throw a lot in the fourth quarter.
11:14So Pickens is numbers are going to go down.
11:16Same with Prescott, same with Lamb, but like Pickens is the number two, whereas Lamb is going to get more targets than him.
11:23So yeah, I totally agree. I don't want him anywhere near the second round, even third round.
11:27I'm looking at the rankings here. He's top 10 on the Kinsheepsis here.
11:31When I filter by half point or PPR, he actually falls.
11:34Yeah, he's 10. He's top 10 for both. I mean, the fact it's ludicrous that he's head of so many other wide
11:40receivers that are going to surpass him. I mean, Mika, Vlad McConkie, I think even Luther Burden has a better season because
11:46these guys are all in line to be the wide receiver one.
11:50Carnell Tate, wide receiver 30, to put it in perspective.
11:52Brian Thomas Jr. is a wide receiver one. I think he's going to bounce back.
11:57Wide receiver 34 right now. Jordan Tyson, wide receiver 41.
11:59I'm just giving you perspective here that there's so much value.
12:03Mika McConkie, I know you're not high on him.
12:05Wide receiver 45. Matthew Golden, 54. I think he's going to be the one there.
12:09Watson is going to break his leg before the season starts.
12:12So this is what I'm saying. There's so much value at wide receiver.
12:16To take a wide receiver two as a top 10 pick is ludicrous.
12:20In fact, I might call it right now. I'm quitting fantasy football.
12:23Both CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens finished top 10 in fantasy points.
12:26There you go. I'm quitting. I'm quitting. Yeah, I'm quitting.
12:29I quit. I'm going to hang up the hat.
12:32I'm going to take down the sign. I'm going to go sell industrial hydraulics.
12:35Yet again, it's what I did prior to my job.
12:38Or I'm going to go back to my first job.
12:41And no offense to people that still do this because that was my first job when I was a teenager.
12:47And CeeDee Lamb finished top 10. That's my bold prediction.
12:49That's how confident I am that George Pickens is going to bust and fall on his ass this year.
12:55A hundred percent. I used to stock groceries as well.
12:58My best trait there was I got people to stop stealing hair dye.
13:01So the camera's watching. They stopped stealing it. So I definitely hear that.
13:05But, you know, it's not going to happen. But on the off chance does, I guess I'm doing the show with Breaking Brad next year.
13:12Yeah, I'll be in the news. Joe quits. All right, next guy here is your guy, which I'm not high on.
13:18So we have a lot of guys that were on the same page.
13:21There's going to be some debates on a couple of players.
13:24Stay to the end because you ticked me off with the last pick with your bus because I'm going to rip into you for that one.
13:32We're going to argue. We're going to debate. And I'm going to get Connor out here.
13:36Maybe Connor will agree with you, but I won't.
13:39But this guy, Jonathan Taylor, this is a Kinsheepsis, what's the word?
13:42Golden boy? Love child? Like they love this guy yet again.
13:45But I think we've seen the ceiling out of Jonathan Taylor.
13:48I don't think we're ever going to see a Jonathan Taylor from last year.
13:52It was just, you know, or the years that he had.
13:55We've seen the best of Taylor. What do you think?
13:58Yeah, if you pay attention to what happened last year, Taylor was, he was the front runner for offensive player of the year for most of the season.
14:06And then down the stretch, he had games where he's like 50 yards, 60 yards and like no touchdowns.
14:11Like what happened? Well, what happened was Daniel Jones got hurt and he tore his Achilles.
14:16It's after the year. And then down the stretch, the teams were stacking the box against Taylor.
14:20Couldn't run at all. Daniel Jones is still hurt.
14:23Like he tore an Achilles is no joke, especially one that suffered in December.
14:27It's not like he suffered in August or September and had more time to recover.
14:31Like this is nine months by the start of the season.
14:34And he's not going to be healthy. Teams are going to figure that out.
14:38And by the way, all the receivers are hurt on the team.
14:41Alec Pierce with that ankle is reminds me of Chris Godwin.
14:44Like forget about him. Josh Downs banged up right now.
14:47Pittman's gone. Adonai Mitchell's gone. There's time. I like Tyler Warren.
14:50But like there's, if Downs is out and we think Pierce will be out too, their top two receivers are going to be Ashton Doolin and Nick Westbrook.
14:58It sucks. Do you think like defenses are going to care about those guys?
15:02They're going to be, no. No. They're going to stop Taylor.
15:05They're going to be at the line of scrimmage.
15:08This guy's going to bust this year. First round's insane for him.
15:11You know, late second, maybe mid first round's crazy.
15:13Well, look who's here. He's appeared here and he's not happy.
15:16He's just, he was whispering in my ear saying he's very dissatisfied with you.
15:20Really. Walter, you should be ashamed of yourself. I love Jonathan Taylor.
15:24I love George Pickens. And I haven't seen you in a year and you still disappoint me.
15:28I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Shut up. Shut up. I don't want apologies.
15:32I want copy and paste rankings because that's what I do.
15:35And I don't want to hear any CMC talk from anybody because he's great.
15:39And I don't care about his tenderness. I like tenderness around my muscles.
15:42I thought you'd be more mellowed out in Miami, but, or, or, or sorry, South, South Florida.
15:47He took his shades. He had shades. You didn't see it.
15:50He had sunglasses on, but apparently, you know, he whipped them off last episode in an angry rage.
15:55So we wanted to keep the, we didn't want any flying projectiles on my computer screens and electronic equipment this time.
16:01Well, that's, that's probably a good strategy then. Shut up both of you.
16:05You, Rick and Brad and Walter can go pound sand.
16:08And I'm keeping it PG-13 today. And get your security off of me.
16:11All right. That's it for Walter. Or that's it for, uh, I called him Walter.
16:15Sorry, Walter. I didn't mean to insult you. That's it for Connor today.
16:19Um, CC is rude. He's easy. You think that with the move and everything, the new season, you know, there'd be a
16:25change, but they didn't change his ways. He continues to copy and paste rankings.
16:29Similarly to everybody else in the industry. It blows my mind that he just doesn't, he doesn't learn.
16:34Yeah. Everyone I know has moved to Florida gets happier, but not, not Connor.
16:38Maybe we'll feed him the alligators. I got a mini lake behind him.
16:42We should do a video on that. We throw Connor in there and see if he survives with the alligators.
16:47Take bets on how long he lasts. All right.
16:50My next guy, we'll just roll into it. We've talked about him.
16:53We're not spending too much time on him. CMC already dealing with the tenderness, um, soreness, tightness, whatever you want to call this.
17:00I call it tenderness. Cause he's soft. You know, I, again, when he's on, he's on, right.
17:04But it's like the last six years, he's three for six.
17:07You know, the last, uh, it's so funny because they always acknowledge his pinnacle years.
17:12Like he had a great year. Even when he's down, they still rank them high, but they don't really talk about the three years.
17:18We didn't play anything. 2020, 2021, those two years played 10 games.
17:22A couple of years later, I think he played four or five.
17:25Like he does. They don't talk about the times where he's absolutely crapped the bed.
17:29They talk about his highs and that's what's wrong with the fantasy football industry.
17:33It's all about recency bias. That is what's going to break your team.
17:37It's like drafting on last year is going to destroy your team.
17:40He's going down this year. I'm telling you, this is the start of the beginning of the end.
17:45And somebody said, well, you said it last year.
17:48You had a good year. Well, I said it the years he busted.
17:51Why aren't you crediting me for the three years that I was right?
17:55Where you draft him in the first round and lost him.
17:58Dude, I'm going to actually be dancing. When he goes down is I'm actually, I'm not, I'm not, I'm going ruthless this year.
18:04I remember the year where Cooper Cup went down when I said he's going to get injured after the pinnacle year.
18:10I did a dance and people, Twitter lost it at the time.
18:14X lost it on me. You know, all these conchefist guys.
18:17I think it was Matthew Barry. All these losers jumped in and said, Joe, you know, you, you know, you shouldn't say that you're an embarrassment.
18:24Like, dude, I was right. At the end of the day, if you're not on the field, you're not producing fantasy points.
18:30I'm right. So screw you. I'll screw all you guys.
18:33CMC is going to bust. Yeah. Don't worry about the weirdos on X.
18:37There are a lot of strange people on there.
18:39So yeah, if you say anything controversial and I look, I've had my fair share of people yelling at me, like they'll, they'll just lose their minds.
18:47And like, these people are losers. You know, like I don't, I don't care about them at all.
18:52No, we want winners, Walter. We just want people to win their leagues.
18:55And we're going to, if there's a pitfall, if there's an alligator in that water, we're going to tell you.
19:01Yeah. No, no. Those are the people who are going to take CMC in the mid first round every single year, because
19:07that's what the Chiefs has told them to do.
19:10The Chiefs is rankings. Like, I think I talked about like losing your draft the first round.
19:14This, this is the ultimate losing pick. Like, yeah, sure.
19:17There's like a very small chance that he's healthy again.
19:20It's very small. I like more likely than not.
19:22He's going to suffer another injury. Again, he's 30.
19:25He's had this huge workload in his career. Like his body's going to wear down.
19:29It's already wearing down. He already has like a chronic tendonitis in his, in his Achilles.
19:34Like he's, he's an injury bound awaiting to happen.
19:36Um, I don't draft him in the first round.
19:39Uh, just don't do it. Oh, so I'm looking up right now.
19:42Our next player here is Rashi Rice fresh out of jail.
19:45Uh, I'm just asking chat GPT to give me and layman's terms Russia, what he did, what he did off field, like
19:51just his off field stuff, you know, list it.
19:54Like it's like, I, I don't draft players with like major character issues like this.
19:58I just, I just don't like it. Uh, I don't think he's a good dude and that's your Latin title to your opinion.
20:04I think he's a terrible person. Uh, especially like it was the, okay.
20:08Here it was. It was March, 2024. And again, like, what does it have to do with fantasy?
20:13It has everything to do with fantasy. Like the last thing I want is like, I draft this guy.
20:18Where's he coming off? Like round two to three.
20:21Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Last thing I want is this guy speeding and causing bodily harm again on people like March, 2024.
20:27And then he gets arrested mid season. Rice was driving a Lamborghini in Dallas while another car he leased was also involved.
20:33Police said the cars were traveling high speeds before a multi-car crash.
20:36Several people were hurt and he left the car seat.
20:39Imagine speeding and then causing a multi-car crash, hurting people.
20:42And then just leaving that could, like if you and I did that, we'd still be in jail.
20:47The fact that he got off on that, nevermind his suspension for the first six games of the season for violent personal
20:53conduct policy on the crash case, a nightclub punch allegation in May, 2024, probation, violating THC in 2026 while on probation for that crash case.
21:00Rice tested positive for THC, which violated probation. And then there was domestic abuse allegations by an ex-girlfriend in 2026 where we saw those pictures.
21:07Like, dude, this is not a good person. Like, this is not a guy that I trust with my fantasy team.
21:13And then that's okay. So let's just take that out of the perspective.
21:16Let's, let's say he's a nice guy. His stats suck, dude.
21:20There's not, what has he done? What justifies this guy, Walter to, I know this is your guy.
21:25I mean, we're talking open discussion here because we have a list of five, your five, my five.
21:30What has he done? Walter, what has he done statistically to say this guy's a second round pick on my precious fantasy team?
21:36Tell me. Not, not a lot. And part of the reason why he hasn't done much is because he's gotten injured.
21:42Like he could be arrested at any point. He could also get injured at any point just based on his history.
21:48So like, yeah, those two things combined. And let's face it.
21:51The Chiefs offense has sucked in the past couple of years.
21:54I saw a crazy stat, by the way, the, the, the three least accurate quarterbacks last year for passes, 10 yards or more downfield.
22:01Yeah. JJ McCarthy. You had Michael Penix and you had Patrick Mahomes.
22:04Mahomes has not been accurate downfield the past two years.
22:07I, ever since he lost Tyree kill, I he's, he's declined and I just, he's still a mega talent in my mind.
22:13Maybe rebounds, but like we, this is a trending thing.
22:16It's not one year progression. And I don't trust the offensive line there.
22:19This whole operation of the Chiefs offense stinks. I don't want anything to do with those players.
22:24So on top of the personal stuff and the injury stuff, you also have a bad offense and Rashi Rice feels like
22:30a receiver teams have figured out, you know? So I don't, I don't understand the second round at all.
22:36Like if you're going fourth round, I'd be like, ah, a little too high.
22:39Like second round, like it's a joke. I'm happy every time someone drafts him.
22:43Like, okay, that's cool. Now I get a player I want.
22:46Yeah. Look, look, there's a chance that he breaks out, has a good year.
22:50Right. But you could say that about Matthew Golden, wide receiver 55.
22:54You could say that Brian Thomas jr. He is in the same situation as any one of those wide receivers later where
23:00he could, yeah, have a good season. Anybody can.
23:02So I can't justify if he was in the eighth, ninth round.
23:06Yeah. I mean, that's where it kind of makes sense to me, but even still, I wouldn't draft him with it, with it.
23:12He's a head case. I don't trust that guy.
23:15He's got major issues and I don't want any, he's Antonio Brown 2.0, but worse.
23:19So. Yeah. I'm out. And well, Brown, Brown had mega talent, you know, like he's, he's like, he's like the thrift store version of Antonio.
23:26Get all the bad. No good. Yeah. I shouldn't have compared him to Brown for sure.
23:30Um, wait, way worse. Uh, next one here. I, what's a top 10 bus list without T Higgins?
23:35Honestly, we look at like Pickens who's wide receiver 10.
23:38We take a look at Rashi Rice who's wide receiver 12.
23:41And then we look at Higgins who's currently ranked ahead.
23:44Who's a wide receiver to mind you on his team yet again.
23:47And this is why rankings don't work. It blows my mind here.
23:51Walter it, it, my mind is blown at the audacity of these bull bull crap rankings.
23:55Like he's ahead of lab McConkie and Amica right now in the rankings, but Conkey's right after him 19 and Amica's 20
24:01ahead of Luther burden ahead of everybody else. It's a wide receiver one potentially Cardinal Tate again.
24:06Let me remind you wide receiver 30. Like, this is crazy, man.
24:09Crazy. Like I, he maxes out. I put it here.
24:12110 is his target max. He'll never see more than 110 targets.
24:16We've seen it. Like you're just going to get a safe, reliable, good old T Higgins.
24:20And then he's due for a decline as well.
24:23You know, what's the deal with Higgins? Like, why did people just glaze this guy?
24:27I don't like, what is so special about him?
24:29It's just consistent points, like safe blanket points. It doesn't make sense.
24:33Well, I mean, he's very talented. The problem is he's the number two there.
24:37It's like George Pickens. I mean, we could copy paste what we said about him.
24:41Yeah. He's, he's number two on, on a team, but he has a great quarterback.
24:45We'll see if Joe Burr could stay healthy. I hope so.
24:48Cause I have some bagel futures, but yeah, I mean, his only out, if you take him to third round is for Jamar chase to get hurt.
24:56Like if that happens, yeah. I mean, Higgins kind of, but you can't rely on an injury in the third round.
25:01Like that's, that's crazy. So yeah, he should be going like fifth rounds.
25:05Okay. Probably kind of like where I got George Pickens last year, like fifth round.
25:09That's fine. Third round is way too early. And also keep in mind, same thing I said about Dallas, Cincinnati's defense can be a lot better this year.
25:17It's not going to be great, but they added some really good talent.
25:21And you know, if they go from like their 26 last year, they go to like 18th, 17th, they're not going to
25:27throw a lot in the fourth quarter. So you're not going to get those points either.
25:31All right. Moving on to next. Got always time on Higgins.
25:34He sucks. Travis 18. You got your guy. You brought him on here.
25:38I don't really have a specific opinion about this guy that I'm just not drafting on my, he could do well.
25:44He could not, but they re-signed Camara. What are your thoughts here on Travis 18?
25:48New average player, new home. Yeah. Well, definitely average at best a year ago.
25:52He, we were talking about, Oh, the Jaguars going to trade him.
25:55Are they going to cut him? Because in 2024, he was benched for tank Bigsby.
26:00You know, like I don't want to draft the running back in the fourth round.
26:04Who's draft. Who's benched for tank Bigsby, you know, last year short.
26:07Last year, he was, he was really good. He posted some great stats.
26:11Well, guess, guess what happened? He was a Liam Cohen, the Jaguars coach.
26:14Who's the running back whisperer. Any, any running back who's paired with Liam Cohen has had a career year.
26:20Kyron Williams, a few years ago, Bucky Irving in 2024.
26:23They both had career years with Liam Cohen and then ATN last year.
26:26Well, ATN is not with him anymore. He's now with the saints.
26:30Kellen Moore specializes in throwing. I like the saints passing stuff there.
26:33I don't like the saints running stuff. And they kept Camara for a reason.
26:37Like Camara's just not going to go away. He's been a stalwart there forever.
26:41He's going to catch passes. ATN is not going to do a lot in the receiving game for that reason.
26:46Yeah. Well, he could get some touchdowns here and there, but a fourth round.
26:50No, thank you. I take him. I take him in the sixth, seventh, maybe.
26:54But this guy is just not a good player.
26:57And he's in a worse situation than he was last year.
27:00Yeah. It's funny. I'm going back and looking at that 2024 season.
27:03ETN, like Bigsby had 168 attempts, 766 yards. We average more yards per carry, 4.6 and more touchdowns.
27:08ETN took the backseat, less attempts, 150, 558, 3.7 yards per carry, only two touchdowns.
27:12Again, compared to the seven that Bigsby did. And, you know, you lose your job to Bigsby, you know, like, yeah.
27:18There's no way you're taking a guy in the fourth round and loses his job to Bigsby.
27:23That's great. All right. This is a big bust here.
27:26Buckle up, guys. If you haven't gotten 16 rounds, make sure you grab it.
27:30This is a major bust. I don't see it.
27:32I don't feel it. I don't smell it. I don't taste it.
27:35None of my sights, sounds, you know, senses, whatever sees this.
27:39It blows my mind. This is one where I'm just shaking my head.
27:42Christian Watson, not only did he get, like, I looked at his stats, 621 yards is what he can't crack 621 yards.
27:48And they paid him more than buy Jan and get.
27:51Like, Walter, this one makes my head hurt. And what's crazy is that everybody thinks because, you know, he's going to be
27:57a wide receiver when he hasn't finished a season.
28:00He hasn't cracked 620 plus yards. It's like, Walter, help me on this one, please.
28:04Like, I don't. What is he? Wide receiver what now?
28:07Let me see. His wide receiver 28 is still, like, I know it's not, like, wide receiver 10.
28:12But they still think he's the wide. Like, they still got him ahead of Carnell Tate, Brian Thomas Jr.
28:17He's ahead of a lot of guys. He's ahead of Jordan Tyson.
28:20All these rookies that could break out really surpass him.
28:23Matthew Golden is, like, wide receiver 53. You get him, like, four or five rounds after Watson.
28:28Like, remember, Matthew Golden was a wide receiver one.
28:31I'm sorry. First round pick. Better talent. I don't know.
28:33Watson, like, I don't get it, man. What's the deal with this guy?
28:37Well, we talked about crazy people on X before.
28:39Christian Watson's dad yelled at me last year. When he got hurt, I said, of course he got hurt.
28:45I didn't mean that. I meant because all my players I got props on got hurt.
28:49And then he just went on a rant against me.
28:52That was funny. But Christian Watson, and look, if he stays healthy, I think he could have a great year.
28:58Like, that's a big if because he gets hurt all the time.
29:01Like, you can't count on him in the fourth round.
29:04That's insane. Now, if you get him in, like, sixth, seventh round, that might be different.
29:08But you could still get hurt. And he's got a long injury history.
29:12I know that there was this weird thing where he kept getting hamstring issues.
29:16And then they checked it out. And they figured out that one hamstring was bigger than the other.
29:21And they fixed that. So maybe that helps him stay healthy.
29:24But he still has a recent torn ACL. I know it was in 2024.
29:28But still, like, so there are other ways for him to get hurt.
29:31Like, some guys just are prone to injury. So if he's going fourth round, you can't touch him there.
29:37I feel like there's kind of like a gap in, like, round six and seven where there's not really too many good running backs and receivers.
29:44It's probably, like, where he should go. But if you take him around four, you're taking away too much risk.
29:50Oh, yeah. Four-year, $110 million.5. $110.5 million contract extension.
29:52Currently active in training camp. Watson and teammate Marshawn Lloyd recently received a playful and firm warning from head coach Matt McClure
29:58to cut out risky celebrations ahead of upcoming NFL.
30:01They're so afraid that these – like, there's such – him and Marshawn Lloyd, like, they suck.
30:06They just can't stay healthy. I know. You can't count on them.
30:09What a waste of money. Yeah, one injury here, two injuries here.
30:12They add up. And, you know, if you keep getting hurt, you're more prone to injury down the road.
30:18He's a robber, man. He's like the Carson Wentz of wide receivers.
30:21Like, he's – I don't know. It's really – Wentz is a shame.
30:25But Wentz was so good. And then injury after injury.
30:27And he's a shell of himself now. Your next guy totally supports you on this.
30:32So we're going to get to our argument in the next – the 10th pick here.
30:36But number eight, Chris Alave, round two ADP 20 overall.
30:39Here's my thought on this before you get into why you can't draft him, why you shouldn't draft him.
30:44It's very simple to me. Very, very expensive. For a guy I thought he was done with the blood clots, I thought that's over.
30:51We're never going to see him again. Like, he was – wasn't he not considering retiring, Walter?
30:56I think he was. Was he not? I think he was stuck on him.
30:59Yeah, I don't know. I think I heard something like that.
31:03I'm not totally sure. I think it was a rumor.
31:05Yeah, I think it was just a rumor. There was talks that it might be over for him.
31:10And, like, listen, I believe what the team does.
31:13And if they would not have got Jordan Tyson if they believe Chris Alave is – Like, it makes no – like,
31:19this guy is a wide receiver one is Tyson.
31:22So why do we need to pay – this is what I understand why teams do that.
31:26You don't need to pay Alave. You cut Alave.
31:29You cut – you let Jordan Tyson be your alpha.
31:32You bring in some cheap guy. And, you know, that's what I don't get.
31:36I think it's a major overpay. I don't even know what he got paid.
31:39I could look that up. Yeah, it's really a shame with him because he's like Christian Watson, like really talented.
31:45I think way more – even more talented than Watson.
31:48He was a first-round pick. Oh, yeah. Like, so if you could stay healthy for his career.
31:53Like, we're talking potential Hall of Fame down the road.
31:55But, like, he keeps getting hurt. Like, it didn't happen last year.
31:59But he has a very extensive concussion history. And, like, if he gets concussed, you know, some guys will be out one week.
32:05Right? He'll be out a month at least. It's kind of like Tua Tunga-Iloa in that way, to a lesser extent.
32:11But still, he'll be out a month if he gets one concussion.
32:14And, like, do you want to take on that risk in the second round?
32:18Also with these blood clots, like he's on blood thinners.
32:21Like, you know, they could resurface. Like, what if that happens?
32:24There's, like, two-pronged issues here with him. It's a shame because I love the offense.
32:28I love the quarterback potential. Love the head coach.
32:31Like, there's a lot of great things around him.
32:33If you were completely healthy, I'd be like, yeah, sign me up for Alave round two.
32:38But you just can't take on that risk with all these injury issues.
32:42And, yeah, I mean, he was a great pick last year in the round seven ADP.
32:46Now he's going – he's like Pickens. Like, he went from round six to seven to round two.
32:51You just can't take on that downside at all in round two.
32:54Yeah, and it was a four-year $132 million. Man, like, it's like one of those things where you think it's over.
33:00Like, for him, even Mike Evans, I thought it was over.
33:03Mike Evans is never going to play again, and they re-sign him.
33:07I think all those guys are going to buzz.
33:09All these guys, Watson Evans, Alec Pierce, all these guys, it's going to – I don't see them.
33:14Maybe one of them will do well. I don't see it.
33:17It's going to be a big waste. I'm going to laugh at all those teams' faces.
33:22What a waste of money, man. All right, your next guy, which I agree on, Devin Achain.
33:27I mean, I don't believe in him. What's your – this is my guy, actually.
33:31My guy. It's your guy. Round one. Do you believe in him?
33:34I just – like I said, we talked about Jonathan Taylor dealing with stacked boxes.
33:38I think the same thing is going to apply here with Devin Achain.
33:42Also coming off an astronomical year, I don't see this being sustainable for a guy where they don't have any wide receivers.
33:48Like, what are you going to do? Like, the teams can literally comfortably come into this game and say, hey, all I
33:54want you to do is guard Achain. That's it.
33:57That's it. That's all you got to do. That's it.
33:59No one's going to catch the ball. Like, you know, we don't even know if the quarterback can even throw the ball, like, as a starter.
34:07Like, this is what I'm saying. Like, this is way too much, man.
34:10I'm not doing it. Yeah. Round one is not ideal.
34:13Look, I've seen him go, like, mid-round two in best ball, and then maybe redress different.
34:18In best ball in mid-round two, I think it's fine because he's going to have some huge games.
34:23He's such an explosive athlete. And think about what Miami has a receiver.
34:26Like, their top receivers are, like, 2-2 Atwell. Chris Bell.
34:29Yeah. Chris Bell is kind of interesting because they're thinking maybe he plays in the preseason.
34:34So, that's interesting. But if Bell can't make it out onto the field with a torn ACL, Devon Achan is the number
34:40one receiver there, which is kind of crazy. So, he's going to get a lot of targets.
34:44Like, the offense is going to flow through him.
34:47And against bad defenses, he's going to light it up.
34:50Like, he's going to have some huge games. The problem is, when he plays against a great defense, they're just going to lock him down.
34:57So, it's going to be, like, lots of high-ceiling games, lots of low-floor games.
35:01That's why he's better in best ball. So, you're going to get those high-ceiling games.
35:05That's what you want in best ball. Redraft's a little different because it's going to be very inconsistent.
35:10You're going to be very frustrated at the times, especially in standard.
35:13PPR, you know, like I said, he's going to get a lot of receptions.
35:17Maybe not too many yards after those receptions. But still, he's going to get those catches.
35:22So, I like him better than you do because I love the talent.
35:25But you're right about Miami is dreadful this year.
35:28And we've had a history of this. They tried to lose on purpose.
35:31They tried to lose on purpose several years ago.
35:34They got in trouble for that. Now they're trying to do that again for Arch Banning or maybe Dante Moore.
35:40So, here's my biggest worry about HN. If they're going into week 14, which is the fantasy playoffs, and they're like 1-13
35:46or 2-12, they're like, are we really going to run HN a lot here because we're so close to getting Arch Banning?
35:52Like, you know what? HN, instead of your 30 touches, we'll give you 15.
35:56You know? That's what really concerns me here. I agree.
35:59I definitely see that. That's a very valid point.
36:01And one guy actually commented on my last video.
36:04I was just checking out because I posted one yesterday.
36:06And he says, crazy you're fading HN and pursuing Price, who will be in a committee.
36:11Yeah, but I don't have to pay a first or second round pick for Price.
36:15And, you know, it's a better offense. If Jaren Price's ADP is round one, we'd be like, no way.
36:20He's what? Sixth round? I keep getting him a sixth round best ball.
36:24That's fine. I like drafting him in the sixth round.
36:27You know, if HN was going round six, we'd both love him.
36:30Some people are saying they want the suckers owed back.
36:33I'm just reading some comments here as we do.
36:35I'm always busy, man. I'm reading comments, trying to reply, trying to please everybody.
36:39All right. This next one here is, yeah, Saka Soda is coming soon.
36:43Jeremiah Love. Okay. Listen, I know this is your guy.
36:46I'm kind of on the fence. I think it could be my biggest regret this year, but I'm just doing it based on talent.
36:53I'm drafting him based on talent. It's part of my core four running backs.
36:56If he busts, I still got three other running backs.
36:59I'll be good. I got some sleepers I'm stashing.
37:02I'm always going to have depth at the position.
37:04Yeah, I'm going to kick myself that I waste a second round pick on him.
37:08But I think that my mid to late round value guys are going to step up and really, you know, mitigate that
37:15risk or whatever, get rid of the risk. But Jeremiah loves, I'm just doing it based on his talent.
37:20He's just so good in what they paid him.
37:22They get the highest paid rookie of all time.
37:25And, you know, everything is leaning towards like him having himself a great season.
37:29So I'm in on him, man. The talent, the talent is what's drawing me, Walter.
37:33I love the talent. I'm going to love him in 2027.
37:36This year, no. This reminds me of Ashton Jensie last year.
37:39A little bit different because Jensie wasn't, he didn't have other running backs around him.
37:43But Jensie was in such a bad situation. Talk about the issues with A-Chan.
37:47It's the same thing. Like Jensie last year, no offensive line.
37:50His yards before contact was negative, like he was getting hit in the backfield.
37:54Jeremiah Love is in the same situation. Like it's a bad team.
37:58It's a horrible team. And they're going to be going for Arch Manning as well.
38:02They're going to be going for Dante Moore. This is the worst team in the conference.
38:06And so to pay, I did a draft last night on my live stream.
38:10He went 212. I'm like, okay, so this guy who's in a horrible offense, and I'll be a great talent like Jensie, but still a horrible offense.
38:18And on top of that, unlike Jensie, unlike A-Chan, he has other running backs there.
38:22Like they, yeah, sure. They paid him a lot of money for a rookie.
38:26They also paid Algier. Like they like Algier. They gave him the first carry in training camp.
38:31But he's going to be getting the goal line stuff.
38:33Like Jeremiah Love is not going to be handling that.
38:36Like Algier stole touchdowns from Bijan Robinson, who's on another level right now.
38:40And if Algier is stealing touchdowns from Bijan, he's definitely going to be stealing touchdowns for Jeremiah Love.
38:45You're upsetting me with all this information, Walt. So we're going to fast forward this part.
38:49I don't want to listen. Yeah, I know. You're absolutely right.
38:52These are all valid points. Valid points. Yeah, yeah.
38:55And third down, like we know teams don't trust rookie running backs in third down generally.
38:59They have James Conner. Yeah, James Conner is washed as a runner.
39:03But he's a good pass protector. He's reliable as a receiver out of the backfield.
39:07They're going to trust him, at least in the first half of the season.
39:11They're going to trust him on third down. Maybe Jeremiah Love handles that more down the stretch when they know they're not going to make the playoffs.
39:18But like for this year, like, yeah, they paid him a lot of money.
39:22They're going to give him the workload. But maybe not this year.
39:26Like they know. They know. Like they're not dumb.
39:28They know this team sucks. And so, like, do they want to really run him into the ground when they're going to finish 2-15?
39:35Like what's the point? You know, I think next year once they have their quarterback, once they get Archman or Dante Moore,
39:41and maybe they add some other pieces and they look good.
39:44Then Jeremiah Love, next year, I'm all in on.
39:47I think mid-first round, at least next year. This year, man, I don't want anything to do with him as they edit his ADP right now.
39:54I'm just going to hope that, you know, James Conner just gets hurt in training camp.
39:58Like at that point. Yeah. And Jeremiah Love just tears it up.
40:02And then Aldridge just becomes like a goal line guy occasionally.
40:05That's kind of what I'm banking on. And I'm also going to bank on that Carson Beck becomes their future franchise guy.
40:11He hasn't even taken the job from Jacoby Brissett yet.
40:14How good is Carson Beck? We saw the preseason.
40:16Is there a chance there? You know, you're telling me there's a chance that Carson Beck will lead up to the playoffs?
40:22Look, Brock Purdy was Mr. Rerello when he became good.
40:25So like, look, there's always a chance. But I would be careful.
40:29Like I'm seeing Beck go like round 18 now in basketball.
40:32I'd be careful just based on what you saw in the preseason.
40:35The Panthers who we played against, like they did not scheme against him.
40:39They not come into the game like, all right, we know Beck's weaknesses.
40:42We're going to take care of this guy. It's a vanilla defense.
40:46He saw nothing, no complex looks. That's where Beck shines.
40:48Like it's up there mentally. Like once he sees complex NFL defenses, it's going to be problematic.
40:53So, well, I don't know. I'm not putting his chances to zero.
40:57You know, there's a chance he's good. I think that though they're going to have the first or second pick and they're
41:03going to go with Arch Manning or Dante Moore.
41:05Well, listen, that's all we have for you guys.
41:08Those are our top 10 boss. You know, I'm seeing Connor spazzing in the corner.
41:12He's glitching out there. He's losing it. He's like scratching his stuff.
41:15His tie is coming off. He's losing it on the sidelines over there.
41:19We got Breaking Brad trying to control the situation on the side.
41:22He's not happy. He loves all of these people.
41:25He loves Higgins. He loves Roxy Rice. In fact, the way he's acting, he might end up in a cell with Roxy
41:31Rice by the end of the season. So Connor is not happy with this episode whatsoever.
41:35In fact, if I were to put him on, we'd have to bleep out all the words because he's just not a happy person.
41:42And we know Breaking Brad's having fun on South Beach.
41:45Tell Breaking Brad to take Connor out one night.
41:47Like they'll have fun. And then he'll be OK.
41:50Maybe Connor needs a few drinks. Connor, what do you think, Breaking Brad?
41:54We now have breaking news. It is with great urgency that we bring you these following messages.
41:58What else is this here? Embrace the fury. Remember this?
42:01Fear is weakness. Game over. That's when Breaking Brad's angry.
42:04That was the other line that we used to use.
42:07That's all we have anyway. You got to get him something new for going to South Beach.
42:11Yeah, definitely. Yeah, they got to get them surfing.
42:14Connor surfing with the alligators. All right, that's all we have for you guys.
42:18Subscribe, thumbs up, get 16 rounds right now. I've linked it below.
42:21Check out WalterFootball.com. Walter, anything else you want to say to the listeners?
42:25Don't draft off conchiseous rankings. We talked about it before, but that's the way you lose.
42:29You have to think for yourself. And guys like Christian McCaffrey, Jonathan Taylor, yeah, they're not 100% the bus, but they probably will.
42:36So don't draft these guys. If you want to finish eighth, ninth in your fantasy league, some people might be into that because they don't get 12th.
42:43That's when you can listen to the conchiseous rankings.
42:46Don't do it. Maybe some people are in a dynasty.
42:49Yeah, if you're in a dynasty league and you want to finish last to get the first round pick next year, listen to the conchiseous rankings.
42:56There you go. That's exactly it, yeah. All right, guys.
42:59We're out. We'll have a good day. Talk soon.
43:01Bye. Bye. Bye.
