NegativeInjury19:53

Adam Randall was looking good for the Ravens, but he has been placed on short-term IR and will miss at least the first four weeks of the season.

Insight page

Insight page

Cyrus Allen

NegativeRole15:48

Despite a strong camp, Cyrus Allen is playing behind Xavier Worthy, Rashee Rice, and Taequann Thornton; the source is hesitant to draft him in redraft leagues as he likely won't command a high enough snap share to be relevant early on.

Insight page

Emeka Egbuka

NegativeInjury30:43

Emeka Egbuka is dealing with turf toe, which the source notes is a difficult injury that takes time to recover from and can recur, potentially impacting his production level.

Insight page

Jacob Saylors

PositiveDepth Chart19:02

Jacob Sailors is emerging as the direct insurance running back for the Lions behind Jahmyr Gibbs and looks like a player who could actually see the field.

Insight page

Jadarian Price

PositiveBreakout29:27

With Zach Charbonnet on the PUP list, Jadarian Price has a massive opportunity to establish himself as the lead back. The source is becoming increasingly bullish on his potential upside.

Insight page

Jordan Love

PositiveProjection22:49

Jordan Love has potential for a big season if the Packers' offense becomes more balanced. Without Josh Jacobs, the team is expected to throw more in the red zone, which boosts Love's touchdown outlook. Love is noted as a very good player who previously finished as the QB5.

Insight page

Josh Jacobs

NegativeInjury23:55

Josh Jacobs has been placed on the commissioner's exempt list, creating significant uncertainty regarding his availability; the source estimates a greater than 10% chance he never plays again this season, making him a risky bench stash.

Insight page

Kalen Ballage

NegativeSleeper47:11

The source mentions Kalen Ballage as an example of a player who may not have day-one impact but is worth rostering due to the unpredictable nature of weekly fantasy football.

Insight page

Keenan Allen

NegativeInjury26:13

Keenan Allen's recent legal situation (DWI charge) is not expected to impact his availability for the current season, as the legal process will likely extend until the end of the year.

Insight page

Kyle Pitts

PositiveProjection8:52

Kyle Pitts looks healthy and explosive in the Falcons' offense, evidenced by a 37-yard run during the preseason where he showed his ability to escape the defense; the source believes he is going to be incredible this season.

Luther Burden

PositiveInjury31:34

Luther Burden looks 100% healthy according to Ben Johnson.

Insight page

Malik Davis

PositiveDepth Chart28:49

Malik Davis remains the backup running back for the Cowboys after the team waived their other backup options.

Insight page

MarShawn Lloyd

PositiveRole21:30

Marshawn Lloyd is the clear back to roster in Green Bay; he is far and away the primary option, with Chris Brooks and Caleb Johnson serving as depth behind him. The source advises against dropping Lloyd to sign Johnson.

Insight page
PositiveRole33:18

Marshawn Lloyd is a high-upside target in the RB24-30 range; his skill set fits the Packers' wide-zone offensive scheme better than Josh Jacobs, and he could be a league-winner if he stays healthy.

Insight page

Puka Nacua

PositiveInjury30:26

Puka Nacua returned to practice on Sunday after dealing with a hip flexor injury and was not placed on the commissioner's exempt list.

Insight page

NegativeUsage47:05

The source identifies Saquon Barkley as a primary running back whose potential injury creates a clear path for backup Tank Bigsby to provide fantasy value.

Insight page

Sean Tucker

NegativeDepth Chart26:52

Sean Tucker's situation with the Buccaneers is described as unfortunate, as he was forced to accept a reduced salary of $2.5 million after initially having a $3.5 million deal.

Insight page

Seth McGowan

PositiveDepth Chart20:13

Seth McGowan appears to be the primary insurance running back for the Colts behind Jonathan Taylor, moving ahead of DJ Giddens on the depth chart.

Insight page

Tank Bigsby

PositiveSleeper47:05

The source recommends drafting Tank Bigsby in 100% of leagues as a high-profile insurance running back who provides value in case Saquon Barkley gets injured.

Insight page

Tucker Kraft

PositiveProjection23:21

The source has bumped up Tucker Kraft's touchdown projection, anticipating that the Packers will lean more on the passing game in the red zone without Josh Jacobs.

Insight page

Wan'Dale Robinson

NegativeProjection32:00

The source is skeptical about Wan'Dale Robinson becoming the WR1 for the Titans, assigning a low probability to the outcome and noting that if he were the WR1, it would likely mean the team's season has gone poorly.

Insight page

Zach Charbonnet

NegativeInjury29:24

Zach Charbonnet will remain on the PUP list to start the season, creating a significant opportunity for Zach Charbonnet's backups.

0:13Look, you can grab a trophy for your league or this belt and you can get yourself a ring if you use that promo code FREERING.
0:22Guess what comes free with the trophy or belt?
0:25Check it out right now. FantasyChamps.com. Welcome to the Fantasy Footballers Podcast with your hosts, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore and Mike Wright.
0:32Welcome in. No more breaking news as we start the show.
0:35Nothing else going on? Not yet. Okay. Welcome into the Fantasy Footballers Podcast.
0:40Monday, August 31st, September nearly here. Kickoff nearly here.
0:42What a weekend. And two weekends in a row where we have, one, a ton of fantasy drafts taking place and two,
0:50a ton of fantasy news that can entirely disrupt the drafts.
0:53Yeah. But that's what we're here for. You know, what's a shame is that the good news isn't ever the news that like really rocks your draft.
1:02You don't ever go into like, oh my gosh, guys, this guy's good.
1:06We found out. No, I mean, technically speaking, if you were in an IDP league this weekend did contain that news.
1:13Oh, I guess that's true. I guess that's actually true.
1:16Right? Because Aaron Donald decided to say, I'm back.
1:19That just, that doesn't happen. Dude. Doesn't happen on the offensive side.
1:2320 million dollars up to 30 million. How did they do that right before kickoff?
1:28I don't know. I like the comment that you said, which is like, I, hopefully this gives you that magical, amazing, best defensive line ever.
1:36But they almost like never, the super team never works out.
1:40But I think I saw something where the last 20 teams that were favored by this wide of a margin, like they're,
1:47they're the clear favorites for the Super Bowl. The last 20 times this has happened, they've gone 0 and 20.
1:53Not that that's shocking because the field will usually have it if you're betting on 31 out of 32 teams.
2:00But it doesn't ever, like I genuinely, I mean, I'm a Cardinals fan, kind of, but they're not a serious organization.
2:07So I'm not the, I'm like rooting for them to wreck the league.
2:11I just want, sorry everybody else, but I love the idea of those two guys just literally shutting out every team.
2:18And it won't happen. It just, the NFL, there's too much parity.
2:21Well, injuries. I mean, you got to stay healthy.
2:24And it's like asking the elder statesman, Matthew Stafford, the elder statesman, Devontae Adams, returning from.
2:30The elder statesman, Aaron Donald. Aaron Donald and then Miles Garrett.
2:33And, you know, one of those guys goes down, it changes it.
2:37But does this count as positive news? A Zach Ertz reunion with the Eagles is on the table, Jason.
2:43Oh man, that is not. Not quite where you, not Aaron Donald levels?
2:47No. That is nasty. That is, oh my gosh, is that nasty.
2:51You even like Dallas Goddard. That would be. Right.
2:54Yeah, that would actually be bad. So much going on.
2:57We have a quick question of the day, preseason takeaways.
3:01We have news and notes to cover, including our complete breakdown of a situation that we cannot provide every single answer for.
3:08But we'll have a lot of analysis for the Josh Jacobs situation.
3:12Oh boy. We'll get into mailbag questions on the show today.
3:15It is a huge week. A lot of drafts took place over the weekend.
3:20A lot more happening this upcoming Labor Day weekend.
3:23We just got done with a live show here in Phoenix on Friday night.
3:27It wasn't just a live show, Andy. That was a mega.
3:31It was out of control. If you're watching on YouTube.com slash The Fantasy Footballers.
3:35It was incredible. That was like an enshrinement ceremony.
3:38Oh my. Yeah. Jason surprised us with some shenanigans that I apparently almost ruined.
3:43You and me both, man. Yeah. I mean, we, well, I'll just let people watch it.
3:48But it's up on YouTube. You can watch the show.
3:51Humongous shout out to the 800 plus people that came out for that show.
3:56I met, I mean, we hung around as long as we could.
4:00We met tons of people with amazing stories. Met people, multiple people that came from Canada, New York.
4:06Boston. Tennessee. Yep. I didn't even get to talk to my, my family was there.
4:10All of our families were there. Met JD and Lewis.
4:14JD came from Texas, a double amputee who listened to the show throughout his entire recovery process.
4:19And, but those stories were throughout the night. I mean, we met so many amazing human beings.
4:25And it, it just gave me so much energy for this season.
4:29I think people had a good time. I think Jason had the best time.
4:33I definitely did. And, um, you know, obviously our bold predictions will be right on the money.
4:39Of course. I, I had one friend who had, they're really just things that are going to happen.
4:45I had one friend who literally, so I said some good things about the bears and they're like, did you say that because of me?
4:53Yes. Yeah. Yes. That's the only answer you could say.
4:56Of course. That was all I was thinking. I stay up at night thinking.
5:00Um, so the bold predictions episode, an extra one this week on, on the YouTube for Saturday.
5:06Instagram.com slash fantasy footballers on X. You can follow us individually at Andy Holloway at Jason Moore at FF hit man and,
5:13uh, at the FF ballers for the show. But the quick question, we did have preseason football and we just wanted to
5:20throw like, what's one kind of reaction takeaway from this final week of preseason?
5:25I think there were a few, I mean, I, I have brought up and I know that I don't have to do
5:32it, but I've brought up the fact that Kyle pits in this offense for Atlanta, I think is going to be incredible.
5:39Um, Lee slow. I mean, I, I saw that play.
5:42I mean, that's a tight end. That's not Austin Eckler trying to run down the sideline.
5:47It's a tight end who used to be fast.
5:50I like that. You, I mean, Kyle, he looked at Kyle pits looks fine.
5:55And he had a 37 yard run up the sideline and escape the defense.
5:59So it just, when you have Kyle pits is going to be great.
6:04I'm just telling you, it was more of a like young Kyle pits, but pre injury, Kyle pits houses that.
6:10And so it just kind of felt bad. Um, my, my takeaway, I wanted to bring up with just that like Chris
6:17bell wide receiver for the dolphins, like Caleb Douglas got a little bit of attention.
6:22This offense gets a lot of negative attention for how bad it's going to be.
6:27But I think Chris bell, we got to see him.
6:30I think it's a very, very good thing for the dolphins offensive potential.
6:34This is a first round talent. Chris bell, wide receiver in for the final preseason game.
6:40You start to look at that offense. Thank you.
6:43I don't know if he's earned it yet, but thank you.
6:46And you say, well, I like Malik Willis. I love Devon H and what you want from this offense is just to not be a bottom 10 offense.
6:55You know what I mean? Someone's got to do it though.
6:59And they, they might, they might be, but that is actually not true.
7:03That is actually not true. We always say that like the, Oh, it can't get worse.
7:08Someone's got it. Someone doesn't have to like, they can be in the bottom 10.
7:13Oh, I thought I mean, I thought you were saying someone has to step up for the dolphins.
7:19Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
7:23I think Chris bell being available to this team is a big deal.
7:27And when you look at what they had on offense last year, you're like, Oh, they have nobody, right?
7:34They got nobody, but they didn't. It's not like they had Tyree kill last year.
7:38You lost Jalen Waddle. But if you have a couple of rookies that can come in and step up, if you have
7:46Greg dolcich, if you have a chance, if Malik Willis can run the football and keep them accountable, I still think they're
7:53going to surprise a little bit on office. I'm not talking about a top 10 team.
7:58I just mean middle of the pack means that a chance can be a little safer than people think Chris bell can
8:05be a little more interesting in redraft. That was one of my take.
8:09Yeah. It's awesome to see him out there. It's crazy to see him out there, how quick it progressed from like, you know, camp opens on the pop.
8:18It's not going to be ready. And then it's like, Oh, he's playing in preseason.
8:23Awesome. It's a steal for them. It absolutely could be.
8:26I don't think I'm drafting him even with my last pick in, in a redraft league, but you're keeping an eye on him.
8:34I've got three rookies as well, but just little takeaways.
8:37One is that McKay Lemon played. It's, it's similar to Chris Bell.
8:41It's like, Oh good. Now he didn't play well.
8:44He had like three catches for three yards, dropped to turn into an interception, plenty of bad publicity, but it was nice that he's healthy.
8:52He's on the field as a first round wide receiver.
8:55I'm far more confident that he will, if he's healthy, be worth a shot at a first round, at a late round redraft pick.
9:03The other ones, Xavier Thomas. Yeah. This is the four to eight wide receiver for the Chicago bears.
9:09He had a very short. He had a very short.
9:12He had a very short. Sorry. Swish. No, I loved it.
9:16I actually loved that. So he's tiny. Right. Um, uh, he has only one 90, but I guess at four to eight, one 90.
9:23So he's a thick boy, but, uh, blazing speed.
9:26He showed it, uh, for the bears. I think it's not relevant to him, but it's relevant for Caleb Williams.
9:33You know, Andy's my guy, Caleb Williams, who he believes can, can have a breakout.
9:38It's always nice to have a fourth weapon in there that can, you know, completely, you know, burn the, the, the field.
9:45Uh, and then the last one I would say on, on a less positive note, Cyrus Allen rookies had great drum beat throughout camp.
9:53Looked like he was playing exclusively with my homes.
9:56It did. You saw he was playing behind worthy rice and Taequann Thornton as a non first round draft pick.
10:02I'm more hesitant to draft those in redraft. I still like the outlook in, in dynasty for the potential there to step
10:09up, but in a redraft, I, I don't know that he starts at 70 plus percent of snaps.
10:15And if he, if he doesn't, which it looks like he's not going to, then is irrelevant for the beginning of the season.
10:23I mean, if, if he does, he's a super outlier.
10:26Oh, you don't go from a fifth round pick.
10:29Yeah. Other than Puka, I get it. But the, a fifth rounder to a week one starting type, it, it takes the
10:36course of the season for those types of players.
10:39I'm just going to highlight the rookie running backs who, um, you know, like, uh, uh, Emmett Emmett in Kansas city where,
10:46uh, Demarcato had been running as the, the backup to Kenneth Walker for kind of what felt like the majority of, of preseason and training camp.
10:54Demarcato got waved. Emmett has looked fantastic on the field.
10:58So he looks like he has, like, if you drafted him in your rookie drafts, he looks like he's already the, the true backup.
11:05He has, he has some hilarious similarities to Isaiah Pacheco when he was at his best.
11:11Hmm. When you, when you compare the way that those guys run, they run kind of a violent, aggressive runner.
11:17He has looked good. Uh, there, there were a couple of the backup running back situations that, and it seems like Pacheco
11:24in, in Detroit is all, but not involved. They're willing to go into the season with, you know, Dan Campbell said, I'm
11:31comfortable with the name of this player. I've never heard of him.
11:35Oh yeah. Say it sailors. Yeah. But so, so you got him sailor, Jerry, I think is who it was.
11:42Jacob sailor, Jacob sailors, a sailor, uh, Mike Washington.
11:45Not only does he look like the direct insurance running back to, to gente, but he looks like a player who might actually get on the field.
11:53Uh, the Adam Randall situation for Baltimore is interesting cause he was looking, yeah, he was looking very good.
12:00Rookie running back for rookie running back for the Ravens, but then they put them on the short term IR.
12:06So he won't miss the first four weeks. So it's just, you know, trying to get the landscape and, uh, oh crap.
12:13The, the Colts running back is, his name is escaping me.
12:17It's Seth McGowan. Yes. So McGowan, it looks like he is, he's the insurance back for, uh, Johnny Taylor over DJ Giddens.
12:24Yes. All right. Um, by the way, we are still in the midst of filling the Megalobull 14,878 is the count as of, uh, 10 seconds ago.
12:33More. So there are draft spots available for each and every one of you, the fourth through the eighth, all of those
12:40days, multiple draft spots free for every single foot claim member.
12:43Go to Megalobull.com. If you want to play in that tournament.
12:47I'm so excited for drafts. I haven't really like we're, we're in a slow draft right now, uh, that we're doing like a sleeper chop league.
12:55Um, I am really looking forward to drafts and thank goodness based on the news we're about to get to that.
13:02We have not drafted any of our main leagues yet.
13:05Can I, can I talk about this? I posted.
13:08So Jinty was two weeks ago, the news where we didn't know what was wrong in the middle of people's drafts.
13:15And then Jacobs was the news this weekend, which we're about to talk about.
13:20So I, I posted like, Hey, just a good reminder to draft as late as you want.
13:25I was met with a surprising amount of people who have weighed in and said that they, that I am unbelievably wrong.
13:32And the most exciting thing is to draft early and then get the news and like ride on the, be able to mock people when people get hurt.
13:41So here's, here's why you're getting that Andy 11 divided by 12 is 91.
13:46So 91% of people who did their draft are happy that they didn't get that landmine, but that's dumb.
13:52That's really objectively stupid. I was so shocked. They were like, this is the worst advice ever draft early and then have the fun of the surprise.
14:01I think if you're in a hardcore league and that's how y'all like to handle the business, that's fine.
14:07But we're talking to like a lot of real, just casual players who we want them to have fun playing fantasy football.
14:14You know, what's not fun when your second round pick moments after you draft him, you find out that they're like essentially suspended.
14:22That guy just did that. Yeah. I took Jacobs in the chopped league.
14:26So him and I are already on the block.
14:29You're both shot. Yeah. I thought that was surprising.
14:32So let's talk news. News and notes from around the league.
14:35So the headline news that took place yesterday morning was that the NFL has placed Packers running back Josh Jacobs on the commissioner's exempt list.
14:43Moments before that news broke, we got word that the Packers had traded for running back Caleb Johnson.
14:49That's all. Caleb Johnson. Which that made so much more sense.
14:53Yeah. We were like the Jacobs. Oh, Jason's just sitting covering his face.
14:57So. He can't. He can't show this smile. Caleb Johnson is your eyes giving you away.
15:02He will be a depth addition behind an injury prone Marshawn Lloyd and Chris Brooks.
15:07He's a loser. He is going to a. Caleb Johnson.
15:10Caleb Johnson is a nothing loser burger. You don't believe anything you're saying.
15:14I absolutely. I know it. I don't have to believe it.
15:18You don't even believe it. But I am just telling you, man.
15:22In a world where he redeems. Oh, man. No pants, no shirt.
15:26Are you. You're down service. I will be leaving.
15:29I will be living birthday style the rest of my days.
15:32You're down big, aren't you? You're down big. Listen, here's the story with Josh Jacobs.
15:37Yeah. And we reacted very quickly yesterday. The three of us updated UDK rankings for Marshawn Lloyd, for the entire Packers, for Josh Jacobs.
15:45The NFL. And again, this is not just. I mean, we do not know the outcome.
15:50Let me start. Correct. We do not know how long he'll be on the commissioner's exemplist.
15:55We do not know what information the NFL became privy to to put him on the list.
16:01We you can go to Drew Davenport and read everything that he has said.
16:05What we know is this. The charges came out against Josh Jacobs and they were reduced charges from the original arrest.
16:12Then the NFL went and put him on the commissioner's exemplist a few days later.
16:17We said on this show that if this video became public and it was indicting of Josh Jacobs, regardless of the charges,
16:24the names of the charges, anything of that nature, he might never play a game of football again.
16:30You know, is it a coincidence that the NFL suspended him?
16:34Put him on or I should say sorry. Yes.
16:37Put him on the commissioner's list a few days later.
16:40I don't think it's a coincidence. I think that there's more information that they have from the investigation.
16:46There have been players like Julius Peppers who were on the commissioner's exemplist for 47 days.
16:51Alvin Kamara for a shorter period of time. There are also players that have been put on the commissioner's exemplist and they don't play football ever again.
17:00Mike made the point like if he misses the year on the commissioner's exemplist, he may start next year on a six game suspension and then you're older.
17:09Does anybody want you in the league? There is a there is a I mean, I don't even want to say non zero.
17:16I feel like greater than 10 percent chance that Jacobs never plays again.
17:20What the living nightmare? Yes. You took Batman down?
17:23I'm Batman. I'm so sorry. We're talking about the most serious thing.
17:27And then I turn around and Jason Moore. Is that a Hall of Fame bust?
17:32There's a bust of Jason Moore. If you didn't see the live show, he inducted himself into the Hall of Fame and
17:39then now replaced Batman on the set. Why are you taking it?
17:43Oh, he's putting his jacket on. Oh, OK. Yeah.
17:46The gold jacket had to go. I'm sorry. I had not seen it.
17:50All right. Hall of Famer. I really should have not brought this up at this moment.
17:55No, no, no. It's good. Anyways, let's continue on serious business.
17:59So Jacob's giving you another day. Jacob's on the commissioner's list.
18:03We've seen we've seen players get put on it for a very short amount of time.
18:08We've seen players put on it that essentially took the place of their suspension.
18:12And like the time it was then. OK, this is time served.
18:16The the minimum suspension in the NFL for a domestic violence situation is six games.
18:21The case. We're just trying to lay out the facts.
18:24The case was scheduled to be heard in court.
18:27Talking about Jacobs in November. November. So we like.
18:30According to Davenport, that's going to be irrelevant to the situation.
18:34Oh, OK. So. So, yeah, I mean, I think what his belief is and what makes logical sense is that whatever this
18:41video that has not as of this recording yet hit the open market, the guess is that perhaps the NFL has seen
18:48it and they know what's coming and therefore they're getting ahead of it, putting them on the exempt list.
18:54If that video happens, a la Ray Rice, it could be the situation where we say people don't want to deal with it.
19:02He'll be gone this year. He'll start the season suspended at an older age and be done.
19:07However, on the other side, so Connor Allen put out a tweet just showing some of the commissioner's exempt list history.
19:14AP got 15. It was on there for 15 games.
19:17Greg Hardy, 15 games. Reuben Foster, five. Kareem Hunt, five games.
19:21Jabril Pepper, seven games. So there is a wide range of outcomes here.
19:25I've also seen people say, is Josh Jacobs worth a last round pick?
19:29Like, is it even? And I would say, sure, I think at that point we don't know enough right now.
19:36And your last round picks are so low hit rates that should, you know that if Josh Allen, Josh Jacobs plays football
19:43as a starting running back for the Packers this year is going to be valuable.
19:48Yeah, but then he's on your, I mean, how long is he going to, are you okay with Josh Jacobs taking real estate on your bench?
19:56Because you can't IR him. At least for right now, while we gather more information, I am.
20:02So we went in, Marshawn Lloyd is kind of in that RB 24 to 30 range right now in our rankings with
20:09plenty of variability based on Jacobs availability. He has first round talent.
20:13He's got the ability. He hasn't stayed healthy. It's a good offense.
20:17So, you know, people that were, I mean, I had, I had a funny story from a friend who was in the
20:24middle of their draft when this news broke. They saw my video that I released on our Instagram, just sharing my immediate thoughts.
20:31They played it too loud from their seat. And the next person in the draft, the head of him drafted Marshawn Lloyd.
20:38Instantaneously. Oh no. Right ahead of them in the draft.
20:42So, um, yeah, it's, you know. So yeah, Marshawn Lloyd is slotting in around, uh, like I, I have him about running
20:49back 24 trying to figure it out. The role is so incredibly valuable.
20:53Like if Marshawn Lloyd is as good as the Green Bay Packers hoped he was when they drafted him multiple years ago
21:00in the third round, then I mean, that's, that's absurd.
21:03Like he will be awesome for fantasy football. There's just, it's, it's a complete unknown.
21:08Everything, everything with Lloyd and Jacobs is just how much risk are you willing to tolerate because we don't have true answers.
21:15What's funny is I saw, and this was, this was a couple of weeks ago, which is ironic.
21:21The timing, obviously we don't know what the teams know well ahead, well in advance of us.
21:27But a lot of the arguments I've made for Jordan Mason about going to the vertical wide zone and how it fits his play style.
21:35Some of that has happened with the Packers as well.
21:38They've been doing more of that wide zone look and their beat reporters are like, I don't understand how Josh Jacobs fits
21:45into this because it's not his play style. Whereas Marshawn Lloyd has been really excelling and can't put that.
21:51Caleb Johnson also fits that style. So I, I, I do think the offense fits Marshawn Lloyd.
21:57If, if his meat can stay intact, no, don't say tender.
22:00That's we, we, you know, here's what I don't think the Packers are.
22:05I don't think that they add Caleb Johnson moments before this news comes down.
22:09If they know the outcome of the news, I don't think that they have enough.
22:14If they thought that Jacobs would just be off the list in a week, I don't think you do.
22:20Agreed. So there, this is what you do. You have to kind of break down the situation based on the evidence you
22:27have, um, and, and see where it goes. And that's where we're at with, with Jacobs and Lloyd and Chris Brooks and Caleb.
22:35And ultimately I think that there was a, there, there are some that believe as I am one of them, that this
22:42team was going to be a little bit more balanced, use their wide receiver core that is now, you know, healthy.
22:49And Jordan love to me is sneaky. I mean, there are just, he's a very, very, very good player.
22:55But if you run the ball and you're number one in that, and you're 28th and passing, you can't get the volume you need from Jordan love.
23:04If they're more balanced, there's the potential for a big season from him.
23:08The touchdowns as well. My big issue with Jordan love for fantasy football, since he doesn't run is he's got to throw for 35 touchdowns.
23:16He can, but he doesn't because Josh Jacobs is so good around the goal line.
23:21I actually changed some of these up to where I, I'm, I bumped Tucker craft, uh, Matthew golden and Christian Watson up
23:28in the touchdown department, because I think he, I think it makes sense.
23:32Like when you get in the red zone, you're going to be throwing more than running without Josh Jacobs.
23:38So it's good for love and good for some of those receiving options.
23:43And just a reminder, three years ago, Jordan love was the quarterback five for fantasy football at just under 19 points per game.
23:50Um, then Josh Jacobs shows up for the past two years and it goes way down.
23:55And part of Jordan love success in the, in that season where he was a QB five for rushing touchdowns.
24:02Like this was a part of what they did.
24:05Yeah. He had a period of time that he played where he was coming off of an injury where you should not
24:12extrapolate anything in his rushing totals for that season because he wasn't able to run.
24:17They weren't allowing him to run. He's an athletic guy is.
24:20Um, and I should add if it needs to be stated because I saw somebody dropped Marshawn Lloyd to sign Caleb Johnson.
24:27Don't do that. Please understand that Marshawn Lloyd is far and away the back to roster there.
24:33And then Brooks is the next man up. Caleb is, is depth.
24:37It doesn't mean he won't have an opportunity. I think it'll be Brooks and Caleb behind Lloyd.
24:42Lloyd gets hurt. That's the situation. Uh, did you want to add?
24:46Yeah. Last thing, because I think this is what people are really wanting to know is we talk about the round, but
24:53I want to give some names to Marshawn Lloyd and ask, are you drafting this person or Marshawn Lloyd?
24:59Yeah. Gone. Are you drafting, um, Ramondre Stevenson or Marshawn Lloyd?
25:03Ramondre. Ramondre. Are you drafting Tony Pollard or Marshawn Lloyd?
25:06Marshawn Lloyd. Are you drafting Jadarian Price? Price. Price.
25:09That's, that's like right where he is for me.
25:12That's close. That's right. I think they're back to back in my rankings and that's really close.
25:18I probably go Lloyd based on what I think is going to happen, but that's your risk aversion.
25:23If you want to be safe with like production, but not that level of upside, go Tootin.
25:29Yeah. Cause it's the Green Bay Packers running back.
25:32The Green Bay Packers starting running back can be a top 12 player if they get the work.
25:38It's funny cause every single team in that division, that's the truth.
25:42The only problem. The Vikings. Yep. The Lions. Yeah.
25:44The Bears and the Packers. It's a great division.
25:47That division's outrageous. The biggest problem for Marshawn Lloyd is what if he gets the work?
25:53Like if you give him the work, can he hold up?
25:56All right. We got to take a break and we'll get into some more news.
26:01Some of it good. Some of it unfortunate as we seem to get this time of year.
26:07I'm going to law school. I just signed up.
26:09I registered online. It will be a digital degree, but I'm going.
26:13Keenan Allen arrested on Sunday morning, charged with DWI and DWI endangering a person.
26:18And this will not affect Keenan Allen this year.
26:21Seems unlikely. The legal situation will not be figured out until the end of the year.
26:26That's via Drew Devenport as well. He was also under .8 and not driving the vehicle.
26:31He was in a parked vehicle. It is still a DWI.
26:35I'm not excusing it. I'm just stating the situation.
26:38The anticipation there from those that are more knowledgeable and have completed their online legal degrees is that this will get pled
26:45down to something innocuous and go away. Aaron Donald returning.
26:48We talked about that. Sean Tucker agreed to a one-year deal.
26:52Did not get cut. This is so sad. Sean Tucker had a $3.5 million deal.
26:57And then they, at the end of the training camp, said, you can have nothing or $2.5 million.
27:02This man deserves so much more than what the Bucs are doing to them.
27:07It's really kind of sad. I mean, he's, I don't know.
27:10I don't agree. You don't? I don't because he chose to sign with them before the season.
27:16He did not have demand from other teams. He could have found, like.
27:20He was tendered. Was he tendered? All this meat and tendering.
27:24I'm getting hungry. He was tendered, which means that they.
27:27He didn't have a choice. They claimed him. And then they're like, hmm.
27:31Well, now that there's no jobs available. Yeah, but he was tendered at what level?
27:36I mean, any team could have come out and fought them for him.
27:40I'm guessing $3.5 million. No, I'm talking about pick level.
27:44Oh. Yeah, because there's a pick compensation if someone comes and takes it.
27:48I'm just saying a team could have come and saved him.
27:51That's all. It just stinks that the human had to be like.
27:55Like, for instance, let me put it this way.
27:58How great would it be to go to Matt, the Falcon, and be like, dude.
28:03Oh, my gosh. We want to cut your salary by 25%.
28:07And you get to keep working here, but we just don't want to pay you as much.
28:12Could you imagine that? Because I would love it.
28:15But I don't think we'd do it. Yeah, it's tough in the streets.
28:19NFL running backs, it's, you know, in the Buccaneers defense, maybe they got play from another depth running back, and they, you
28:26know, you don't know what conversations took place in the preseason where they're like, hey, here's your 3.5, but fight for it.
28:34I don't know. Tons of roster cuts. Say goodbye.
28:36Everyone start waving right now, and I'm going to say names while you wave.
28:41Will Levis. See you. Jaden Blue. Phil Moffa. This is interesting.
28:45The Cowboys waved all of their backup running backs other than Malik Davis.
28:49Did you not have Davis as the two already?
28:52I did. I did, but I figured at least Moffa or Jaden Blue would hang around.
28:57Demarcato waved by the Chiefs. Jaleel McLaughlin waved by the Broncos.
29:00Yay. Jonah Coleman. Damian Pierce was waved by the Eagles.
29:04Also related, Damian Pierce was with the Eagles. Yeah.
29:07Greg Dortch left the Lions. We thought maybe he'd have a role there.
29:11Jalen Hyatt, goodbye. OBJ is a member of the Giants.
29:14He's a member of the Giants, and the player that had his number is no longer on the Giants.
29:20I 100% noticed. Hyatt. Those seem conspicuous. Here's a big one.
29:24Zach Charbonnet will remain on the pup to start the season.
29:27You're going to get Jadarian Price as the lead back, mixing in with a heavy dose of Helani.
29:33This is a humongous opportunity for Jadarian Price to, quote, establish it.
29:37Yeah. I mean, we're going to see out the gate day one whether or not he is good enough to hold off
29:44an undrafted free agent who has touched the ball like 25 times in his career.
29:49Hope he is. He should be. I'm not too worried about Helani.
29:53I'm getting more and more bullish on just the opportunity around Jadarian Price.
29:57He wasn't my favorite prospect coming in, but I mean, it's a layup of obvious upside.
30:02Jordan Tyson on IR to start the year. Yeah.
30:05Tank Dell on IR to start the year. James Conner, Christian Kirk.
30:09The James Conner one going to the IR, I would imagine that is, I mean, you have to put him on there
30:16if he's hurt, but it's like the moves they have made where they waived Trey Benson injured and now Conner with this.
30:23Jeremiah Love with his ankle, probably good to go.
30:26Puka Nakua returned to practice on Sunday, was dealing with the hip flexor.
30:31Puka also was not placed on the commissioner's exempt list, which is noteworthy in light of kind of, you know, this was the time to do it.
30:39But Todd Bowles reported that Emeka Ibuka, he's hopeful, will be ready for week one.
30:44I am at this level with Ibuka. This is a bummer.
30:48Because turf toe, for one, it takes longer than you think to get better from.
30:53Two, it can recur. Three, you don't produce at the same level as when you're not recovering from it.
30:59Four, he didn't play well through injuries last year.
31:02Yes. It would have been my four. Yeah. But I appreciate it.
31:06Yeah. I mean, you're right. All of those things, again, Chris Godwin is undrafted or late round.
31:11Pay attention to him. But I think they're, I mean, McMillan is hurt as well.
31:16Yeah. Uh-huh. I mean, it's right to say, yeah, I got an opportunity.
31:20Yeah. I mean, Ted Hurst. A pack of chainsaw.
31:23Yeah. I mean, the opportunity is there for Ted Hurst to start the year.
31:28We'll see how much they lean on the running game.
31:31And Luther Burden looks 100%, according to Ben Johnson.
31:34Huzzah. That's great. Good news. You guys want to do some mailbag and see if we can answer some more questions?
31:41I feel like. Let's try. I feel like all we have is questions, Mike.
31:45Just a world of questions. Yep. Hopefully we get some answers.
31:49Mailbag. Mailbag. Yeah. Mail. Mail. Visit the site and click submit a question.
31:53If you have a question for the show, thefantasyfootballers.com, dial the voicemail hotline.
31:57302-464-TFFB. We'll kick off today's mailbag with a voicemail.
32:00Hey, ballers. This is Jameson from good old Alabama.
32:03I was just wondering if the legendary Wandale Robinson could actually be the wide receiver one in Tennessee this season over Tate.
32:10He is a Jedi after all. Thank you. Thank you, fellas.
32:14First of all, incredible call. Pretty good. I didn't know if it was a bit at first.
32:19I think it was real. It was real. And could Wandaille, let's say the percentage chance we think Wandaille could end up
32:26as the fantasy wide receiver one for the hopefully Carnell Tate led Tennessee Titans.
32:31I have my percentage down. What do you guys think?
32:34I'm going 15. 15. I go 35. Oh, higher.
32:37I wrote three. Okay. Okay. I mean, it's a vast minority in any of our not- It's like the full PPR, I guess the odds change.
32:46But- I will say this. If he is the wide receiver one for that team, it's not- Things have gone terribly wrong.
32:53It's not going to be like, oh, so then Wandaille's a great value and dominated.
32:58No, then that team is not the team that they were hoping to be.
33:02There is absolutely a world where Wandaille is useful for fantasy.
33:06Sure. Yeah. I think it's better. It's better. Wandaille has a better season for fantasy if Tate is good.
33:12Not if Wandaille's the one. Yeah, yeah. All right.
33:15Missy in South Carolina writing in about a chopped league, which by the way, we're in the middle of our second season drafting that right now.
33:23I'm trying a chopped league for the first time.
33:26Would you please speak to draft strategy and how to use and save fab?
33:31A chopped league is the same as like a guillotine league.
33:34It basically means we have, in our league, there's 18 different teams to match up with the amount of weeks in the season.
33:42Every week, the lowest scoring team gets chopped. See you later.
33:45You're gone. Goodbye. And all your players go to free agency and then you can pick them up.
33:51I don't know if you guys have, this will be fun because I don't know what strategies we go through.
33:58Yeah, we're still pretty new to the format. I know that my initial strategy going into the year has been like, I am not drafting Josh Jacobs, right?
34:07Right. I'm drafting players that I know. Players that I know with certainty have opportunities to start the year and high opportunities.
34:14So that's kind of the direction I went is that I'm guaranteed production from my starters to begin the year.
34:20But fab strategy is another discussion too. I would say early in the draft, I like, I really like having workhorse running backs.
34:28I'll take them over really good wide receivers simply because we talk about it a lot.
34:33Wide receivers, even really good, you know, top six wide receivers.
34:37They're not nearly as consistent as running backs. They'll have their big boom games and then they'll have games where they just don't score a lot.
34:45And all you need to do in a chopped league is not have the least amount of points.
34:51Did you turn my Hall of Fame bust around?
34:54You did. Sir, disrespectful of a Hall of Famer.
34:57It's too close to my head on the video.
35:00But so I do prefer earlier running backs. And then I don't mind taking a quarterback.
35:05If there's a really good quarterback, I don't mind pulling the trigger a little earlier because, again, you just need a lot
35:12of points to not finish last for those first few weeks.
35:15And the best advice I can give of what is happening.
35:19Are you laughing at the statue? I'm sorry. Do you want to finish the point and then I'll tell you why I'm laughing?
35:26Sure. It was going to be good. Save your fab in the beginning.
35:31I know it's so tempting to go all in and then you get a ton of, you know, you get that guy for the whole year.
35:39But if you're going to win the league, you really need to hold on to money for a while in your fab.
35:46So I'm looking at your, and this is not for the audio audience very much, but I'm looking at this bust of
35:53Jason Moore, which he inducted himself into the Hall of Fame on Saturday.
35:58Go watch it. It was a good time. YouTube.com.
36:01And people have asked us, was that a bit?
36:03No. Well, I mean. It was a bit. For sure.
36:07Was that a bit that Mike and I were aware of?
36:10No. In fact, like I almost like, apparently like they had this hiding backstage and I almost unveiled it.
36:16You literally touched it and started to take the sheet up.
36:20And I was like, Jer, Jer. Here's why I was laughing.
36:24I was like, this is too close to me.
36:26I miss Batman. Right? So I'm like, well, maybe Jason wants it back behind him.
36:31Uh huh. Yeah. Or you were trying to put it on the fake shelf.
36:36I actually put them on the shelf behind him because I it's, there's nothing there.
36:41Papa Josh can attest. I came in this morning and started laughing.
36:45I did the exact same thing. My plan was to put them on the shelf behind me.
36:50And I walked in here and went, wait, those are fake.
36:54You'll have to digitize him. Yeah. Oh, good. That we can do.
36:58Mike, any other thoughts on the chop situation? Just the like, optimally, you need to have some, some fab at the end.
37:05And in terms of how much do you bid on players?
37:08Our league was all over the place. Like you'd have weeks where it seemed like desperation spread wildly.
37:14It's there was weeks where it's like, oh, there's not really someone who should be, uh, uh, worth a ton of fab
37:21and then a ton of fab gets spent on them.
37:25And then the next week you're like, oh my gosh, this superstar goes for way cheaper.
37:30It's people are still trying to figure it out.
37:33I don't know that there's like a, a boiler plate of this is the strat at the end.
37:39You want to have some, it's the one place people ask us, do we care about by weeks?
37:44That is a place that it is a major impact.
37:48Teams got regularly chopped on weeks that their stars had by weeks.
37:51Jonathan Taylor's week. It happened all the time. And, and like, you don't know, I think this is part of it.
37:58There's a lot of managers, but you don't know who's feeling the pinch and afraid.
38:03Like you get it in, you look at your roster and you go, man, I got these two players on by.
38:10I am in so much trouble next week if I don't spend.
38:14And then they spend more than you expect. Um, that was the league where Brock Bowers became a curse.
38:20Yeah. That was, I guess signing him. I don't know if this is prescriptive or not, but so Brock Bowers, you know, frequently hurt last year.
38:28So people kept trying to buy low, so to speak of like, Oh, I'm going to, I'm going to get them on
38:36my, my roster here while he's hurt. And then when he comes back, it's going to be amazing.
38:41I'm going to have Brock Bowers. And then that team would just get cut.
38:46It was very, it was, it was the ring.
38:49They watched the tape. I will say that as a side league, it was a great, as a side league, very, very fun.
38:56It was just a different vibe. I, you just feel like it was, it was just fun through and through.
39:03There was something consequential every week. Somebody you make fun of robustly.
39:07My every week, my favorite part of this league.
39:10And it's so delightful. Oh, I know what you're going to say.
39:14I was all in. It was important to me every single week.
39:17It was important. It was like, Oh, I just made the cut.
39:21Oh, the waivers. It's fun. What's my lineup going to be?
39:25The first week I was out, I made it, I don't know, halfway, three quarters away through the season or whatever.
39:32As soon as you were out, I just didn't care anymore.
39:35Like I didn't, it was like, it was gone.
39:38It was off my play. It was great. I think for us in a lot of big leagues doing this full time,
39:45that was a relief to be able to say, I'm either all in or all out.
39:51This question comes in from Instagram. How do you decide between drafting value for team need when you're at the turn or for team need?
39:59I'm sorry. Drafting value or team need when you're at the turn.
40:03The implication being, if you're at the turn, you've got a long wait.
40:07You don't necessarily, I think that's the position where it's the most difficult to trust ADP, right?
40:12Because you have to wait for such a long time.
40:16If you, you know, you have to either reach or pray.
40:19Yeah. I don't, I don't, I mean, obviously value is going to drop to you and you're going to know, oh, look, I can't believe this guy fell.
40:28Great. Scoop him up. But in general, I'm not going by ADP value when I'm at the turn.
40:34I'm going by what player do I want? I never ever, you just can't play the game.
40:40I mean, you can, you can say, hey, around round eight, these type of players are usually there at this position, but
40:47you can't play the game throughout your draft of like, oh, I hope this guy makes it back to me that you're
40:54maybe considering with this pick not going to happen in any kind of competent league.
40:59So you just have to genuinely say of all the players that are in, you know, wide range, who do I genuinely
41:06believe scores the most points for a position I need?
41:09All right. We'll take a break. Come back with some more questions.
41:13Still good on all that news. Nothing else crazy happening.
41:16Not seeing anything right now. Nobody else getting cut that we didn't expect or something like that.
41:22We'll let you know. All right. Mar Chod comes or writes in from X.
41:26Have you seen any indications that the year of Mike is officially over?
41:30He achieved such a godly level last year that I'm scared to bet against him this year.
41:36Any signs would help? You should be. Getting a wrong Starbucks order, T-shirt with a spaghetti stain, anything like it.
41:42Did you, in life, Mike, are there some signs potentially that we've noticed, Jason, or that, Mike, you've noticed?
41:49Like, have you, you know, your shoes untied? You thought you tied it.
41:53And any reason to believe that you may be heading for more of an average year?
41:58Is just believing in sanity and mathematics. Like, that was- Turn to the mean.
42:03Yeah. I mean, I probably have to, but- Was that you're compensating for any, like, other things going on?
42:09Oh, personal life's a disaster. There's also, you know, last year- You've been building your house a while.
42:15Maybe that was the payoff. Last year, you know, it was a great year for Mike.
42:20You had the Ring of Honor twice. Yeah. He got usurped already this year, so there's a sign.
42:26You don't know what bothers me is that I know Mike.
42:29Mike has his stuff. I mean, Mike has his things he's never going to escape, and it's going to be things like Ben Sinnott.
42:37Yeah. And his favorite players are his favoritest. But he's been ridiculously reasonable with some of these guys that he was just
42:44all over the moon with last year that I tend to believe him.
42:48Mm-hmm. And I hate that about myself. Yeah, you should.
42:52You should, definitely. Oh, it's so frustrating. I understand.
42:54We haven't seen enough signs. Jason inducting himself to his own Hall of Fame- It's just a start.
43:00Is a start. It's so funny. Well, I mean, number one, the bit was- Yeah, you being out shenaniganed is good.
43:07The bit was incredible. Pulled off flawlessly. Neither Andy and I knew what was going on.
43:12And at the same time, because the- I don't think this came up because of the Eagles owner, was it?
43:19No. No. It was already happening. Because this happened the day after your second ring of honor.
43:24I went, okay. I'm going Hall of Fame. What's an important show?
43:282000? Oh, the live show. Yeah, it was incredibly well done.
43:32But then the owner getting put into- Jeffrey Lurie.
43:35Is like both Andy and I had the exact same idea.
43:38It went in my head. I'm like, could I pull off a third ring of honor at the live show?
43:45And I was like, ah, no. I let it go.
43:48And then I think Andy, turns out you were planning a bit for today.
43:53I came to the whole team last week when you guys were gone.
43:57And I go out there. And little do I know that this thing's been planned for six months.
44:03And Al, feel free to weigh in. I came to you and I was like, hey, I got this great idea now that Jeffrey Lurie did this.
44:11You sure did. And my face probably went white.
44:14Everybody in the office apparently heard me. We had a group chat.
44:18We had a group chat about this with basically everybody except you two.
44:22And I'm getting gifts from Schneider, the sweat gifts.
44:25He's in the other room. It's like, oh my God, what's happening?
44:29And I think it was a great relief that I did not come up with it as an idea for the live show.
44:37Yeah, eventually I just said, when are you planning on doing this?
44:41And he said, I don't know, next week, top of the week.
44:44And I was like, oh, I'm on it. Sounds good.
44:48I'm on it. I said, I was just really stressed you were going to try to add it to the live show.
44:55And I think we wouldn't have time to get it together and it would fall flat.
45:00Oh my gosh. You were going to give me all the reasons.
45:04And I was going to be like, why? Why, Jeremy?
45:07This is such a good idea. I was terrified that I was going to let on to something or that you already knew.
45:15Part of me thought you might have already known and that's why you were planning that.
45:20I did not, but it was a great moment.
45:23My kids didn't believe me that you guys didn't know.
45:26They're like, no, they knew. No, that's what my family did too.
45:30They're like, you knew about that, right? And we're like, if anybody knows Mike at all, you could tell Mike didn't know.
45:37Because Mike was so bothered regularly. Every 15 seconds, he got another wave of, I hate this.
45:43Matt writing in, what do you guys do when you're on the clock and there's nobody you like on the board?
45:49I mean, that's a funny question. You get sad.
45:52You scroll. I mean, usually when you're at that point where there's nobody you like, you're later in the draft.
45:59And at that point, I think you, honestly, like if you've got whatever your resources for us, it's the UDK.
46:05I scroll and I look for the players that I've pre-marked.
46:09And sometimes they're too far, you know, it's like, wow, do I really pull the trigger here?
46:14And it depends on how late you are. If I'm like rounds nine or later, ADP doesn't matter that much to me at that point.
46:22It's all just crapshoots. And if I believe someone should be drafted here and they're three rounds later, you know, I'm willing.
46:30I still would rather wait another round and get more value.
46:33But I think that's my first thing I look for is who do I have either cued or highlighted in my UDK
46:40that I don't want to forget about. If it's an in-person draft, that's often the time that somebody puts that pick on the trading block.
46:48Yeah, but if you're online, I would say go look at a different position.
46:53Like, do you have your quarterback yet? If you're not liking any of the players, because this happens in like round seven.
47:00I'm not really feeling any of these guys. Okay, well, what's happened at the quarterback position?
47:05Or start looking at just rookies that you can see a very clear path for quick success.
47:11Or if all else fails, just start taking those really high-profile insurance running backs.
47:15High-powered pros. Yeah, I couldn't figure out which word I wanted to say, but it's like Tank Bigsby.
47:21Tank Bigsby should be drafted in 100% of leagues.
47:24It's just where is the appropriate spot. So you take a player where you're just waiting in case Saquon Barkley gets injured.
47:31But it's like that, like Kalen Black. You know, there's players where they're not a day one impact on your roster, but crazy stuff happens every week.
47:40Tanner in Canada. High-baller is not a fantasy question, but who decides what bobbleheads are on the table during the show?
47:47I think that's the Falcon, right? I think it's mostly the Falcon.
47:51That is correct. Okay. I will say he decides through one other method, which is he picks ones that he hasn't already broken.
47:58Fair. Where's Arian Foster? Where's my Arian Foster ball head?
48:01Oh, you're Arian Foster? Where is that one? He had an ankle injury.
48:06Ankle? His head didn't pop off? No, he's got his head.
48:09Okay. All right. How did he get the ankle injury?
48:12Uh. I plead the fifth. I got a poop.
48:15He stepped off of the curb wrong. We've all done that.
48:19But yeah, he picks them out. It used to be Brooks when he was in the office.
48:24And Brooks was meticulous with his, like, nobody probably noticed, but the first eight years of the show, he always tried to
48:32pick guys that, like, slightly thematically match what we were talking about.
48:35100%. Which maybe you do as well. Try to.
48:38Yeah. Yeah. And then you just punish. Like Randy Moss.
48:42Like, you know, we're going to be talking about Randy Moss.
48:45Randy Moss is always welcome to the table. Straight cash, homie.
48:49Today is Jinty, Mahomes, Moss, and Lamar. But. Sure.
48:52We will accept any and all bobblehead donations. And if they're good and not broken by Matt, we'll put them on the desk.
48:59See, if you were real thoughtful, you would have just put out four Hall of Famers.
49:04You know. Is that what you think? Oh, because of you.
49:08Yeah. I didn't. You're going to really. The. I think it's come into mind right now.
49:13You're going to really milk this thing. Just today.
49:16Just today. I'll put the jacket away after today.
49:19And Batman comes back. I don't know. We'll see.
49:22Okay. All right. It is a pretty good 3D print there, dude.
49:26Yeah. I will say this. There were a few Colonel Sanders.
49:29That was what I was going to say. A couple of people were like, why does your bus look like Colonel Sanders?
49:36And I'm like, yeah, I get it. It kind of does look a lot like a Colonel Sanders.
49:42It's a beard, not a goatee. But at the same time, it's got some healthy.
49:47Yeah, I can be on the set now. There we go.
49:51Perfect. All right. We're going to say goodbye. That's the end of this show.
49:55We've got a lot coming up this week. Players were afraid to be wrong about.
