Fantasy industry vets Joe Dolan and Tom Brawley are bringing it all season long on the fantasy free agents podcast unrestricted, unaffiliated unparalleled fantasy football analysis. Hello everyone. We have some preseason action in the books and what better way to react to the preseason then by immediately making sweeping statements and that's what we are going to do on the fantasy free agents podcast today. I am Joe Dolan. He is Tom Brolly and I am still International. I am across the border. I couldn't find any of the games on television and Tom I will have you know that NFL Game Pass does not work in. Canada so I couldn't even do that. I why doesn't it work in Canada, huh? Because I don't know because it's dumb. I have to I think I had to sign up for does own to to watch in Canada. And I didn't do that Heda Zone. If you want to sponsor the podcast, you know, maybe you can you know, maybe you can drop us a line there. However, Tom I did find some illicit streams. So she sort of hit me off. Jeez. I have a Adventure Time in the we will we will be talking about that when we get to a table, but I wanted to welcome you and thank you for doing the heavy lifting with the preseason action last night and we're going to be talking about that. We're going to be adjusting our rankings this this today this morning. Actually we're recording we were I was touching up the receivers this morning before we even got on the podcast. So yeah, there's some there's a little bit of movement from the preseason and a little bit of movement just from you know, come some of the news coming out the last couple days. I do want to react more to the news Tom than I do from the This season especially when teams don't have guys playing you never know what they're going to look like come week one, but we'll talk about all of that and it's good to be talking to you here. I'm in Canada Tom. I'm sitting here with a Tim Hortons cup next to me and one of the things that I have tried to avoid in my time in Toronto. Thus far is going to a bunch of chains. I mean, you definitely don't want to do that and especially in such a beautiful city like this that has so much good so you haven't been hitting up the Boston Pizza yet or there's Boston pizza. I've sought you have is a piece that I mean that it's like a Canadian thing for whenever I was up there. It's a chain up there. Apparently people in Canada think that Boston is the The Hub of pizza or something. I have no idea. I have never I've never eaten Pizza in Boston nor have I heard of of Boston Pizza, but I have not seen Boston Pizza. I'll look out for it. But I've seen Pizza Pizza, which I know is a Canadian chain. Okay, I'm pretty sure bought its got like an orange and blue sign or I swear I maybe that was more of a Niagara Falls. Like I did I did do the Toronto trip a few years back, but it was a you know with with Niagara Falls stop. So maybe I'm thinking more of Niagara Falls with the Boston Pizza. I'll keep on the lookout for Boston Pizza and any of our Canadian listeners can chime in and talk to us about Boston Pizza. But Tom you and I have got to get into what happened this week and Tom before we get into the preseason action. I want to talk to you about the trade we were hoping for now, you know, I saw some people mad about people taking Victory laps about Duke. Johnson and I understand that you know, we haven't even played a game yet. Duke Johnson hasn't suited up for the Texans yet. But to say I wasn't drafting Duke Johnson with the hope that he was going to get traded was completely false. I wish I was drafting him a bunch with this hope it finally happens. He gets dealt to the Houston Texans for 2020 conditional fourth-round pick Tom, which can reportedly turn into a third-round pick if Duke Johnson is active for 10 games with the Texans noteworthy Tom because he Never missed a game in his career and yeah, they're adorable so far up. So by the way a fourth-round pick for a guy who actually has a pretty sizable contract. I don't even this is one of those things. I don't even remember Duke Johnson signing an extension, but he did does have one with the Browns and it's a pretty big contract SO trading a fourth-round pick that becomes a conditional third for a guy who's already under contract and a pretty sizable contract and expensive one at the running back position caveat applies that Houston has a lot of cap room and can spend a lot of money here the fact that they traded this pick a premium pick. Well, it could raise two issues a number one it you could say. Well this is what happens when you don't have a general manager valid point John Dorsey got Bill O'Brien on the phone and and negotiated this trade John Dorsey obviously has way more experience in negotiating trades than Bill O'Brien has but also I think Bill O'Brien is at least competent enough to know a fourth and a third-round pick. These are pretty significant pics here or fourth or third. And it's one word teams typically do draft the running back. So I think if he's trading this pick for Duke Johnson, I think they plan to use them. Oh absolutely and it is contract isn't that but I'm looking at it. It's about 4 or 5 million, you know a v so that's I mean that's still in the upper half but it's not bad if you're going to use them as a starter which you know, Lamar Miller is getting down towards the end of his contract. Maybe this is kind of a move for the future as well. I've kind of see them kind of split in this back feel pretty evenly he runs well out of the shotgun and you know, the Texans are going to play out of the shotgun a ton as they have the last couple years with the Sean Watson. So, you know the move, you know, he's obviously a very good receiver in the Texans haven't had a I enjoyed your talk with Greg yesterday, you know, you know, maybe a big reason for that has been the reason why that you know, they've had the max Quite a bit with their oh Linus he's you know, haptic have to keep seven six or seven guys in which is hurt. They're receiving backs, you know, if their offensive line steps up just a little bit here. Maybe we could get a little bit more action for for Duke Johnson as a receiver in Houston here. Well, and also Tom this this then becomes a chicken or the egg question. I'm talking to our guy Graham Barfield and gram grams a little more skeptical here ice I'm excited about the trade. Obviously, we would have preferred he go to Tampa right to in Tampa, he would have been the best back. So I would have preferred that there's no two ways about that. However, Graham's been brought up that DeShaun Watson last year through only like 13% of his targets to the running back position, which was if not the lowest in the NFL was close to the lowest percentage among quarterbacks, but Tom do you think this is a Bill O'Brien stubbornness issue? Do you think it as Greg alluded to they had to Max protect so much that they never had running backs leaking out into the passing game. Is it a DeShaun Watson? Issue, or is it merely a Personnel issue where they didn't have a guy like Duke Johnson? I don't think out of that list of for their I don't think it's a Bill O'Brien thing that that I think it's the issue with pass protection. I think it's DeShaun Watson, you know, he likes to hold onto the ball much long, you know, he holds on to the ball for a while. That's why he takes so many sex. He likes to extend place so that tells you he's not really looking to check it down, you know, he's either, you know going deep, you know, throwing it down the sideline or take it off himself. So what was your other option? I already forgot the third acts protect Wiz is it like I said, is it a DeShaun Watson issue, or is it because they didn't have the Personnel at what not and it could be the Personnel to I mean Miller. Yeah, I'm looking through he's been a solid receiver throughout his career. But you know, he's only gone over 40 receptions in a season Once and you know, he's been a pretty much uh, you know a Bell cow type, you know dating back to 2014 with the dolphins. I mean You know and he's never been you know that prolific of a receiver during that time. So, you know, maybe it is a little bit of that too. All right, Tom. So in my initial rankings, I moved Lamar Miller down from 24 to 28. I moved Duke Johnson up from 52 to 41. Now. Keep in mind. I had Duke Johnson at 52 with the with the chance of a trade built in so if you were to tell me he wouldn't have been traded. I probably would have had him lower than that when he was in Cleveland. So I only moved them up a level 12 spots. Well this morning I was I took a look at it. And you said the same to me off air? I took a look at it. I moved Lamar Miller down two more spots to our be 30. I bumped up Duke Johnson another spot to our be 41 and what I'm just considering here is that Duke Johnson's on a new team. I don't really know how it's going to look but to be completely Frank with you Tom. I wouldn't be shocked if by the end of the year Duke Johnson has the most fantasy points in this backfield. Yeah. It's going to be really interesting. I think Lamar Miller. Obviously has the leg up at the beginning of the season but you know, I could see Duke Johnson baby getting more touches but the end of the season over Lamar Miller, so I'm right there with you. I agree. I would be pinching them a little bit closer. I might even move Duke up a little bit higher. I don't know exactly who you have ahead of them. But he feels like maybe a mid-30s to late 30s at the running back position right now. I would start I think I would start considering him a going about the ninth or 10th round at this point and he's still very I saw you tweet about it yesterday and I was even in a couple of my drafts I snuck it still snuck Duke out and like the 13th round people do not adjust to the ATP quite as quick as you know as we'll see in a couple weeks here. So yeah, he's still a pretty nice bargain. If you if you're in the middle of a you know, best ball draft. It's a slow draft and you're picking in the 12th or 13th round. All right. So listen to some of the guys I have Duke Johnson behind right now and this Why this is why I have him where I have him because I can't justify moving him above most of these guys for right now. Jalen Samuels. Yes, its 40th. Would you bundu would you draft Duke Johnson before? Yeah, I would I would draft him over. Jhelum. Okay. Well, yeah, I'm starting to look at the list. Yeah. I see Damien Harris guys Howard. It's hard. Right? And now the one thing is here if Melvin Gordon signs a new contract, I'm moving Austin Eckler below Duke Johnson that's happening. But Oh, by the way, we'll get to that. So this is this is the things that we got to think about, but I'm excited about the trade Tom because Duke Johnson and best ball is my most drafted running back. I mentioned on Twitter are actually in our group chat. I mentioned on three I've drafted three season-long teams thus far Scott Fishbowl. I drafted the flex leagues where I was in DC this past weekend. We talked about on the podcast earlier. All right, assuming I was in New York City used to be in DC, but I drafted that New York City. We talked about it earlier on the podcast and I also drafted Did in one of those TV leagues that you and I are in where the grand prize is a big TV. I drafted him in those. I've drafted three season-long teams those farnese on all of them. So I'm very excited about this trade, but I won't you're all in on Duke baby. And now only the thing is like the advantage that I have time now is if the ATP does rise to the eighth round, I don't really have to pay that price anymore because I have so much of them. Yeah. You got your shares already you're sitting happy right now. So I have one more question if Bill O'Brien James willing to give up what is ostensibly a third round pick for Duke Johnson because barring Duke Johnson getting injured. It's going to be a third-round pick. What the hell would he give up for Trent Williams? Because this offensive line is still a problem, huh? Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I think you have to consider a second round. Just you have to use a little the the Redskins don't have a ton of Leverage. So I don't think a first rounder is probably on the table at this point, but I would think a second rounder would be there. And I mean the Texans maybe they'll start wheeling and dealing here a little bit more there. You know, there's you know there in that rookie QB window here and they're in a tough division. So, you know, I think they should and As you said they have all the salary cap space. So it probably is time to you know, maybe make make another deal here in solidify that offensive line, you know, you make a big move with a running back so might as well upgrade that offensive line to help your running game in to help your Young quarterback. Oh one more thing Tom. We haven't gotten to the preseason review yet. But Kiki cootie got hurt in the Texans preseason opener. I've seen varying opinions. I know pro football doc said it looked like a high ankle or an MCL. They're saying it's a minor. Ankle sprain but he got injured and he's their projected slot receiver. Duke Johnson can do that as well. He could actually be out there at the same time as Lamar Miller if Kiki cooties missing action. Yeah. I mean, he's we've seen that we didn't see it too much last year. But in years past I remember Hugh Jackson. I mean I can remember like the first game as a year against the Steelers a couple of years ago them like lining him out wide and you know using him all over the formation so he is capable of doing that kind of stuff so, you know, he could be Be because I think there's a backup. Who is it? The the Eagles got DeAndre Carter their backup slot receiver. He's also banged up. So they're having some issues out of the slot right now. So, how about Andy Reid Tom going on? I think it was on serious NFL radio Sirius XM NFL radio going on and saying we're going to use a running back by committee this year and after Carlos Hyde was getting just dumped on early in Camp. Andy Reid started to praise him praise and Darwin Thompson praising Darryl Williams. This is interesting because Damien Williams he's back now, but he missed some time in training camp with a hamstring injury. My question to you is do you buy it do you buy that Andy Reid is going to use the committee approach in the backfield this year? Because if he does Tom that is a significant blow to Damien Williams because we're ranking him highly honestly just based on the fact that he's in this offense. Yeah. I mean, I'm not really buying into it, you know everything I mean earlier this summer and he was saying that you know, He's their starter. He's their guy. So this is kind of a change for him. And I'm not really believing it. I mean, he's you know, he's one of the, you know, true Workhorse type coaches. He loves using a back that you know gets 70% of the snaps. So I would be very surprised if they move off of this and less Damien Williams is you know struggles here. Yeah. He was dealing with a hamstring injury. So maybe that maybe there was a bit of frustration, you know with the injury that maybe that's I read said this so, you know, I may be a tweak them down a spot or two but you know, Nick Chubb is definitely ahead of them. We really didn't touch on that with the Duke trade. I mean, he's he's locked in to have 80 90 % of the snaps here, you know in that Cleveland backfield. So he's a top 10 type option now and I would definitely take him ahead of Williams. But you know, I'm not I'm not getting too bent out of shape by reads comments the last yesterday. A there I have Nick Chubb is running back 10 right now. I think you can make an argument for him as high as running back seven here. I have them behind Joe Mixon James Conner and Dalvin cook. I think a reasonable person can argue. He should go ahead of those guys. I'm not there right now and Tom, it's funny. You mentioned bumped down Damien Williams and spot. I bumped them below carry on Johnson in rppr rankings. Yeah. I don't have a problem with that. I mean just there is a little bit uncertainty and you know Williams isn't you know, he's been bouncing around he's not it. Certainly, not a proven God but man he has he has top five potential, you know, if he does get to work horse job here. You know what we saw at the end of last year. What's up listeners?

What's to get to reviewing some preseason action Tom? How many games did we have last night? I don't even freaking know 11 11 games are we only got five the rest of the weekend here? Okay, so we had 11 games first and foremost. It sounds like you had a harder time getting to watch these games than I did. I'm in Canada my NFL Game Pass which automatically renewed for the $15,000 that it charges your whatever the hell it was. It was a lot. I believe me. I am counting pennies right now. Tom is I'm as I know you You are as well. We need sponsorship to get you know payoff Joseph NFL past. Yeah, no kid in here. Like I'm God Heaven. It was I was like, oh boy and then I couldn't even use it for week one of the preseason but I found I found some ways around that Tom. I won't report you. Okay, please thank you. But what happened with you like you're going out and you're watching you're all excited. I know preseason sucks. But I know you get the twinge of excitement to when it's about to kick off and we get the actually see some of these As an action, but you were delayed a little bit where you yeah. I mean, I'm all bring up the name of this bar. If you you know, if you're from central, Pennsylvania here, but we've had issues with this place in the past. So last night there's no Red Zone channel. So we want yeah, I'm going to watch a bunch of games. There's a Lovin going on. It's be a perfect night to have NFL Network or you know, the Red Zone Channel flipping around all the highlights. Well, you know, we don't have that. There's only one game on On in the area. It's the Jets and Giants which was a fun little start to that game. But you know our friend a mutual friend of ours covers the Penn State football team and he wants to watch Trace McSorley and you know potentially write something up on it. So, you know, we want to watch the Ravens, you know, the Eagles are you know, a local team here. So, you know, we call the local bar and oh, yeah. Yeah, we're gonna have the Ravens game on will have the Eagles get we're gonna have a bunch of games on so, okay good. We're gonna bring my computer. Watch it. We're sitting there. It's like 735 740 and they're not that there's no game and well, like what the hell is going on? We called ahead here. You know, it's a 15 20 minute drive for us to get down there. Oh, we're not showing the games, you know, we don't have access access to them. We assume they had DirecTV the RedZone channel so our bodies like we want our checks right now and you know, I'm in the middle of meat and eating dinner and I'm like scarfing it. Down he doesn't hasn't even gotten this. He hasn't even gotten this food yet soon as it comes out. He's like give me a box for that. We're going so we gave a couple bucks a couple bucks to the the bartender and you know, it wasn't really his fault We called ahead and we were told that the games will be on there. So we stormed out of there. So I I was driving around during a lot of the games and thankfully the other game was the Jets and Giants gave wasn't or in rain delay. So yeah, I eventually got back watch the NFL Network and got to see Highlights of the other games and caught up on you know, Twitter and just you know, checking in on you know beat writers and what they were saying about the games, but it was quite the adventure for me. I was expecting to be able to sit down and watch three or four games at once and that was not the case. So they told you they were going to have the Ravens in the Eagles and they had neither. Nope. It was just the NFL Network game. So I was just like yeah, I know they have DirecTV during the door in the season, right? Does DirecTV have the preseason I have I have no idea. I have no clue Tom. I just all I know is I follow on Twitter and I used my ways last night. But the one thing you can do fortunately about the preseason is just look at highlights at the end and just see how guy Yankton let's start with that Jets and Giants game Tom and let's let's not bury the lead here. How about the ball placement from Daniel Jones? I mean, he was pretty Flawless looking out there. I gotta be honest. Now what he threw five passes. Okay, you know Greg postel. We talked about this on yesterday's podcast. It is obviously time to make sweeping judgments about Daniel Jones while put his bust in Canton. I'm going to see it next weekend in Canton, Ohio. He looked really good though. Now know it was everything you would hope to see you know for her, you know, he didn't look like a rookie at all. He looked comfortable in the pocket through with conviction couple downfield throws the the strike to Latimer, you know, you know the krauser across the field there and the touchdown pass to The corner there, you know to Benny Fowler. So there were some really nice throws in there and you know, certainly great reviews for the number-6 overall pick that pic was certainly dumped on all summer long. So, you know good start to you know, justifying it here but long way to go as you said on the other side say I'm Donald an engineer to touchdown drive and Tom. I mean well boy the Jameson Crowder hype train, he looked pretty good. He gets the touchdown, but he also had a Gain, Chris Herndon was out there. There's a forgotten guy because he's going to be suspended the first four games of the season, but he had a long catch and he's going to be an important player when he comes back but say I'm Donald looking looking pretty sharp as well anything you took away from the Jets offense. The one thing I really liked was they just a little bit of tempo that's you know, and obviously if you followed the last, you know year or two down in Miami Jesus Adam gase just running a very Everett offense they think they only ran like 54 55 plays a game last year. So I really was excited about seeing a little bit of up-tempo from the Jets. We need we need those guys to squeeze off, you know, 65 plays a game to really feed all those mouth. So that was the biggest takeaway for me that you know, they used a little bit of pace. Hopefully that continues throughout the preseason and into the to the regular season Tom. We're not going to touch on everything about these games by the way. I want to direct Apple to Fantasy free agents. Cam you're going to have a little note package going up. Nothing nothing crazy, but just like little things that could be fantasy relevant tidbits. And and the reason is I don't want to just alert you to all of them on here and get you swimming and saying well, wait a minute. Are you moving this guy up or you moving this guy down? That's not what we're doing. We don't want to confuse you but Tom you did have a couple notes Here on like playing time things like that. Just just if you're interested. Yeah, that's really the biggest thing especially from these first, you know, the first game or two and and the fourth game it's really who's playing a in front of who and you know, depth charts out. You know, I'm really looking at running backs, you know, just even the next game we might hit here the you know, the Ravens and jaguars, you know, Alfred Blue played ahead of recovery Raquel Armstead here, which you know, that might change by the end of the preseason but it is at least notable, you know, a lot of people are taking Leonard fournette in the third round and might be considering a handcuff there. So that's the kind of stuff. I'm really looking at in these. First couple preseason games. All right, Baltimore Jacksonville Tom the thing that was most noteworthy here the first play with Lamar Jackson. I mean it was it was total Greg Roman Colin Kaepernick stuff. It was a run action to the left. It was almost like I think it was an outside Zone play them. It might have been a power play something like that, but it was run action to the left Jackson rolled out to his right and hit Chris Moore just wide open down the down the sideline in stride for a 30 yard gain. It's a play time where they get to use Lamar Jackson's athleticism they get to use him as the threat of a runner and it easily defines the throw for Lamar Jackson. We're all right. This guy is designed to be open if he's open. I'm going to throw the ball. If not, I might take tuck it and run, but he was open for a 13-yard gain. I expect to see a ton of that stuff. And of course, it's noteworthy for Lamar Jackson that he threw six pit passes and didn't run it. All the question is why would you run Lamar Jackson in the preseason when you know that's going to Such a big part of your offense in the regular season. Yeah, I like their approach and that you know, this is really the time to work on the stuff that you're not really good at and Lamar Jackson needs a lot of work as a passer right now. So, you know played I think it was was that one series or to Serious. Those are common Series. Yeah. I was going to say I think it was too serious. So, you know was throwing the ball around, you know, Myles Boykin got involved, you know, he was in his boy Willie Snead caught the touchdown. So Chris Moore also, you know what? A couple catches so you know, that was what you want to see you want to that's really going to Define Lamar Jackson season here. We know he's not going to probably run as much as he did last year. I mean that was you know a little over the top but you know for him to really make progress this season, he's going to have to just you know, just become League average as a passer. So, you know, I liked what I saw from the from the first game here, but you know obviously take it with a little grain of salt, you know, the Jaguars set most of their starters on both. The ball. Yeah, they did. And by the way, the the second catch by Chris Moore was that or an overthrow to the tight end. Yes. I think it well II didn't actually see the play. But from what I was reading it look it sounded like it was supposed to be a target for Andrews or Hearst. I believe while Jackson said it was intended for Chris Moore most of the people who saw her like, I don't think so. So he does have a lot to work on as a passer. And by the way, it's okay to admit that. I mean, that's all I'm saying. Can't design an effective offense around him. But yeah, you know, it's it is okay to admit Lamar Jackson has work to do as a pastor. It's not it's not it's not wrong to say that and then that's why they're designing this offense the way they are Miles Boykin Tom's been a guy who's been getting a lot of Camp pipe and he had a touchdown wiped out by holding Pennell me. Yeah. It was a really nice play a nice throw by McSorley on the play got wiped out but you know, he, you know elevated above the defender got a little bit of separation. As well, you know, it was like a little Gap go route in the Red Zone there. So he's a guy I've been kind of he's starting to creep onto my radar here. I moved him up, you know significantly up but you know it moving up from like ninety five to eighty and our rankings but he's a guy I'm keeping a close eye on here the rest of the post preseason here Philly and Tennessee. Not a whole lot here from Philly. Tom their starters really didn't play Jordan. How about a mile Sanders? Did Howard got the start? Sanders came in after him neither played that much though so we didn't get to see a whole lot of either of them the big news for Philly Tom and we don't have to get into this for families is Nate son fell broke his wrist and it looks like he's going to miss six to eight weeks after surgery, which is notable because Carson Wentz is last two seasons have ended in injury. So you wonder if the Eagles are going to go get somebody to play quarterback because their backups now our Cody Kessler and Clayton Thorson and predictably Thorson's been having an awful Camp. He was awful in college, so I don't know why. I would anticipate him being any different but that's the thing for Phil. Oh Dallas Goddard is awesome man. It's just he's just one of those guys. I have no idea Tom how to value for Fantasy, but holy crap. Is this guy player? Yeah. I know. I'm I don't have I don't think I have a single share of them yet. Just because I don't he's gonna you know, you're still number two tight end, but if he gets a big chance, I could be regretting that but you know played well last night and he's going to continue to light it up in the preseason I would have imagine but so have you gotten any kind of feeling what the what the Eagles are going to do with their with their backup position? They're going to try to ride it out with Kessler and person or they say they're going to ride it out. I think it depends on the prognosis for for sun-filled though. Yeah. I I would guess if it's six to eight weeks you kind of try to ride it out. But if it starts to get more into the 8 to 12 weeks then I think they have to make up a pretty move there if it's the 6-8 weeks you can Ross. The room for the first couple weeks because if you put them on I are you have to hold them out through week 8 so yeah, you know, they don't want to do that and that's how they would have to pick up an extra quarter back. But as you said if it's on the longer end, then you probably have to IR em and go get somebody else. And yeah, so that's going to be interesting Tom we Tennessee Derrick Henry didn't play Corey Davis didn't play Delanie Walker didn't play Marcus Mariota. Did and Tom I just got to be honest man. This guy can't throw the football. I know. It sounds bad still and Marcus. I mean Ryan Tannehill came in after him and you know kind of lit it up. It just feels like maybe at some point this season. We're going to be like, oh is it time for Ryan Tannehill here? I know I even saw some people talking about that. So I mean what there was one? What was it? Oh by the way, Adam Humphreys got a ton of targets. So if you've been somebody I've I've been a little worried about his potential volume, which is why I haven't been in on him because he's a volume receiver, but the guy can play Tom. I mean, there's just no two ways about that. Humphreys can play out of the slot but the one pass I'm talking about for Mariota Humphreys ran. It was like a it was like a Dia mid-range out pattern between the safety and look like a linebacker like it might have been it was look like a Zone coverage. Essentially. I didn't see the whole field but it looked like his own coverage where Humphreys found the Gap along the sideline between the linebacker in the safety and which is exactly what Adam Humphrey. He's a supposed to do right Tom. He's supposed to find that soft. So Soft void in the zone and Mariota throws the ball the sidelines or was it to Humphreys? I didn't see that's plus know. It wasn't the Humphreys. It was to Jennings. I believe I think it was the Darius Jennings. They actually got hurt on the play, but he actually he gave him no chance to make the catch. It was low and away and remember dare. He Jennings is playing against the sideline. So he's got to try to keep his feet inbounds and Mario to close this ball low and Away out of bounds. He had no chance to make the catch Tom. It was an atrocious throw I mean and it was one of those throws where you look at the guy and you say, All right, if he had the adequate arm strength to make that throw then that's a completion on a really nice route and a nice timing completion. But the ball just kind of died out of bounds and the the concern I have with Mariota Tom is the guy is getting worse. Yeah, I mean it really has been a downward, you know trajectory from since his rookie season here. So, you know not not feeling great here. I mean he threw like six passes. Let me let's be fair. Yeah. But it's on top of what we saw all of last year, you know, we need we need to see something good here to feel better about this passing game. That's why you know, I'm right there with you. I've been so low on Corey Davis all summer. The only guy I've really gone in on is Delanie Walker and just because he's been such a reduced price. But you know, it's tough to get excited about anybody in this passing game. Well, yeah, and also Delanie Walker, I mean you can to be fair to Mariota. He was his best receiver in 2017, and then Walker miss all of 28. Right. So I mean that then Mario to struggled so I think that's fair but I mean Tom just a just a really not a great showing and as you mentioned Tannehill got in there. Let's get into some bedding a little bit. What would you set the over-under on Mario two starts this year? Oh, baby, I'll put it in just with his injury stuff. I feel like variables going to have a little bit of an itchy trigger finger. I'll put it at 13 and a half. Oh, I'm taking the under, okay. I'm taking the under. Yeah. Well, I probably would too but I was just trying to set a good number. Yeah, I don't know. I wonder Vegas was set at like 11 and a half or something because I think I think the Underwood get hammered at 13 and a half. Okay, so I am not ready for the big time. Yeah up there with Megan. Yeah, I guess what the scooch will have to tell you what he would have done there. Yeah, so but then you also have to keep in mind Tanana Hills one of if not, he might be the single best backup quarterback in the NFL. Yeah, I'm trying to think now that Nick Foles is out of Philadelphia. Yeah, but we'd like percent in Indianapolis Taylor. I mean say what you want about them good backup quarterback. He's in he's in with the Chargers. So I mean but he's up there tan Hills one of the five best for sure. Absolutely. I mean he's had success at this level, you know played well, you know played well in spurts in Miami, you know, I don't know how they won seven games down there last year. So I mean he is capable of being a game manager for them which might be an upgrade over what Mariota was last year Buffalo and Indianapolis, Tom. Let's not even talk about Indianapolis. They didn't play anybody Andrew Luck still don't lines. So no need to even talk about them a couple of things here. TJ Yeldon with a fumble. He's got to be if they're going to cut a back. It looks like him right now. There's no doubt about that. What do you like what you saw out of Devon Singletary behind? Yeah. He was running really well caught a couple passes as well, you know screen pass or two. So he's gonna be on the fast track I think but we might be need to be a little bit more aggressive with him. Just because you know who the hell knows what you know what their plan is with the LeSean McCoy here, so I wouldn't be Prized of Singletary is you know, leading them and touches out of this backfield in the second half of the year with Buffalo. This is I think the most interesting thing that you came up with you the snap counts of the starting wide receivers with Josh Allen and Allen by the way played a solid game. He did. He did some good things. He did some bad things but but showed a little bit more comfort in the pocket. I thought whatever take that as what you will but you came up with the snap counts here for the for the receivers with Josh Alan and I think this is Important. Yeah, I don't want to take credit. This was Adam Levitin. I saw him. Okay, okay, you know tweet this out so but yeah foster Robert Foster is in the doghouse here, you know don't he is simply on draftable right now didn't play a single snap with Josh Alan. They were playing Andre Roberts, you know ahead of him and he wanted Robert even played ahead as a Jones as well. So some interesting things going on here. John Brown looks like the guy in Buffalo here. So far. Okay. Yeah, John Brown coal Beasley were the top two receivers. Yeah, they chose left with with. Oh, yeah, that's enough value at shit. But he got so that's that's why he only played that so disregard. I've totally forgot. He did go into the medical field then he got clear but obviously you're not going to come back in in a preseason game and exactly so he probably would have been in the top three ahead of laundry room and he got he had a drop. I gotta be honest. I'm I'm not really in Anze Jones this year. Oh, no. No, I It was actually from what I was reading. It was on the play that he got hurt. So he has to take a pretty big hit so I might not be something to pin on him there Washington and Cleveland Baker Mayfield right back in right back in the groove of things oppa, obj and Landry didn't play by the way, but they ran a lot of no huddle under Freddie kitchens. Richard Higgins had a big day catching the touchdown pass from a field. He went for five for 98 yards and a touchdown Nick Chubb had a big gain on a draw play, but here's going to be the Question now that Duke Johnson is in here Tom and Kareem hunts out the first eight weeks. Who is the backup to Nick Chubb Darian Hillard Hilliard. Excuse me. What's his name? Hilliard Hillier. Yeah. I keep wanting to say Dalton Hilliard. Yeah. I know. It's DonTrell. It's not real Hilliard. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's a two-lane place. I they is there some relation there, you know wasn't the Hilliard. I'm thinking I'm from LSU. This is embarrassing because I should know this and there. Is from what I would think there would be something on his Wikipedia page of his if his father was Dalton Hilliard or uncle or whatever cousin there's nothing. Okay, so okay about that for DonTrell Hilliard. I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm sorry to get his name wrong there that Tom that's that's yeah. I didn't know it off the top my head together. So I mean I put them in our rankings but that's how deep down. You know, we're reaching now on the the, you know, the Browns depth chart which you know is why were you know quite high on Nick? That's why I called. I was thinking of the Villanova basketball player. Okay, the Darren Hilliard who went to Liberty High School in Bethlehem, by the way, which is near where I grew up. So Allentown, you know, the Greater Lehigh Valley area there. Yeah. He there's Michael Derek Miller. Okay, so I wasn't nuts. They're thinking Darren Hilliard was a name. I'm I apologize to DonTrell Hilliard. But anyway, DonTrell had a fumble Tom. He did get caught. He he caught two passes from Mayfield. Well, so some good and some bad there but it looks like he is the guy, you know, if you're looking to handcuff tub, or you know, whatever you're looking to do there in that backfield. He's a got to keep you know, keep an eye on here. Of course, the big news coming out of this game was Haskins shaky debut. You comes out and flings a 24 yard pass, but then he subsequently throws two more two interceptions later in the game, including a pick six to to the Browns there there. Who's that Mack Wilson or yeah, they're they're middle linebacker soon a little shaky debut here for for Haskins. Okay, Tom New England and Detroit. I will get that will get the more Haskins and I'll talk to Greg Cosell about him because obviously that's a good guy to talk to really break down, you know, because you know what we're going to talk to great. We want to we want to know about these rookie quarterback. Well, he's going to watch him and of course we're going to make our sweeping statements about them New England in Detroit, Tom. Curse almost certainly out for the season after a broken leg. That's horrible news for him. Another injury Matt Lacoste. Did you see an update on the COS? He got rolled up on none. Of course. It's a patriot. So there was like no update after the game as well. You know, what kind of injury was so no idea there. Of course, you know, they're pretty thin at tight end to begin with at the start of the season with Ben Watson suspended for the first four games the big story here and if you haven't heard this name, well you might as well start hearing it. It Jacobi Myers, I believe out of UMass Tom. Is that is that correct? Catches it you're mispronouncing. I think it's Kem brel pumpkins or have not feels like Brian Tim's member Brian Tim's he was a slot type, you know, he's not very fast for 3 6 2 200 pounds and he has been blowing up in Camp. Well, Tom, it carried over into this game two touchdowns from Jacoby Myers at NC State one from Brian Hoyer one from Jarrett Stidham. He's starting to get first team reps Tom. We got it. We got to rank them and we have to look it's the New England Patriots. They're going to throw two people who earn their trust in it feels like Myers at this point is earning some trust. Yeah. He's been added to the project. It's the rankings and moved up into the The low 90s here for now, but you know Maurice Harris was another guy that's been doing well and he catches the first touchdown of the game. So, you know this this I can't believe they played the kill Harry that he had two nice catches to I know but he had a hamstring issue, you know at the end of last week early this week and they played them and he ended up leaving early after one of the you know after a second catch there. So keep an eye on that see if anything more comes out. Maybe it was just a precaution. Everything but he did make two nice plays though, which is you know, he's been a guy that's been losing a lot of steam Miss preseason and training camp. So nice to see him actually make some plays but this yeah, it is still wide open in this Patriots receiving Corps behind Julian Edelman and it just got a little bit more complicated with Jacoby Meyers my and I do want to point out real quick that I don't yeah we talked about you talked about Ty Johnson with Greg yesterday and just want to point out that he did play ahead of Zach Center. So he's a God to keep an eye on Dynasty legs. And you know, he met carve out some sort of rolls a third down back if they're looking to limit carry on Johnson's exposure. So you got to keep an eye on here. He's guy have ranked. That's the second line running. Well the third line running back behind CJ Anderson as well. So I have I have him ranked and Cosell like them a lot to Miami Atlanta Tom. I mean Atlanta there's nothing to talk about here both Ito Smith and qadri Allison had touchdown. Runs, but Atlanta barely played any starters, but what did you see from Miami? Because hey Ryan Fitzpatrick got the start but Josh Rosen aside from an interception pretty good out there and pretty comfortable. Yeah, and he was lighted up with this Preston Williams got it didn't get invited to the combine because of some issues with domestic violence charges and 17 and he had a couple failed tests got booted from Tennessee goes to Colorado State so the guy has a pet Degree as a five-star recruit in you know, he's been he was getting some praise early in Camp to begin with and now he's taking it to the field. So those two had a little bit of a connection going so something to keep an eye on Rose and did get the shit beat out of them again now, so this poor guy can't get behind a decent offensive line right now had to play with the second team offense, you know, the it's not like the Dolphins have good starting a line guys, and they had to play behind those guys. Well and Kenyan Drake by the way got all the work early. Caitlin balázs vultured him at the goal line. So we'll see what's going on with this backfield Tom. I guarantee you I will not have a good feel on this backfield heading into week one though. It's just the way it is. Yeah. I have a feeling that this could be a back of that gives us issues all season long and obviously Flores with his Patriots back background might be want to rotate these guys one other little note is get sticky played quite a bit with Fitz or guy Graham Barfield had him. Blank eight of the twelve snaps with Fitz Fitzpatrick with the starters had a catch. So, you know, we give been getting mixed reports on kiseki all priests. He's altering cap here, you know up and down again so least a little bit of a positive sign that he was playing with the starters. Okay. Let's go to Green Bay and Houston and I already mentioned Kiki cooties injury. He was basically like Houston's only like starting skilled professional player who played and he got hurt so for oh boy. Well, he could miss some time could be mixed reports. They're saying it's a minor ankle sprain pro football doc said it could have been MCL high ankle sprain. We'll see about that but not good news for him. I wouldn't expect to see him for the rest of the preseason Demaree a Crockett was the was the starting back. I guess Tom not take Taiwan Jones actually was but oh, yeah, he's not gonna he's not gonna be the the third bracket. No, it'll be that was for that's more of Bill O'Brien get them. Giving him the veteran. Okay, he get that I mean Crockett Plato had to hang the Higdon. That was the big one for me. Well Crockett's going to be the guy who's probably the favorite right now to be the third back behind Lamar Miller and and Duke Johnson Marquez Valdez scantling gets a deep shot on the first play of the game from Deshawn Kaiser there that's noteworthy and I got another guy who's been gettin hype and training camp Tom is Dexter Williams the rookie running back out of Notre Dame. He goes for 62 yards in a touchdown on 14 carries with Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams. Both out definitely a name to keep on the radar because keep in mind this staff did not draft Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams that is very true. You know, I do have a few shares of Tamal Williams. I am a little worried here with his prolonged absence with his hamstring injury or injury and they took a nice long. Look at Williams to give them 14 karat as I guessing. He played the entire first half with the you know, the starters in the SEC. Wild they the starters of The preseason game and none of the none of the big names there with Aaron Rodgers, but he got a nice long look and you know fairly well so Carolina in Chicago Tom. The one big thing to touch on here is David Montgomery first for all on Carolina side Ian Thomas left with a rib contusion. We're going to have to monitor him. I actually have him quite a bit and best ball will Grier was behind Kyle Allen but really nothing at this point actionable for fantasy for Carolina. I guess Cameron artist painting was their starting running back. I Keep cashing those checks Cameron artists paint. I don't know how he manages to do it, but he's not very good. But David you must have some nudes of the you know, everybody in chart. We're on over there and everybody and he's Carolina's version of Alfred Blue. Just I don't know how he keeps cashing the checks. But hey do it. I hope he gets paid Caroline in Chicago though with Chicago David Montgomery is making some is making some noise here Tom and there ain't no way. He's dropping below his current fourth round ATP. It's just not going to happen now he As slippery as a receiver had a nice rushing touchdown, you know kind of you know, she wiggled his way into the endzone. So yeah, he's he's one guy that's going to get some hype coming out of the first week of the preseason and probably Justified. I mean they did give Mike Davis the veteran treatment there with the you know, three handoffs to start the game. But this is David Montgomery is his back field here. So he did not disappoint in this first NFL action Denver and Seattle Tom Phillip. Lindsay comes out looks great. All right, we're feeling good. And then Royce Freeman comes in with a 50 yard run. I mean this backfield I was talking about you heard my conversation with great Cosell were like there's kind of puzzling to me. It's not that it's not that we want to knock them for getting good players. And Theo Riddick can do some good things, but were less scratching our heads. Like what didn't they see from Philip Lindsay last year? Unfortunately, it looks like they plan on this being a A headache. Oh, yeah. This is this is I mean and you bring into your Riddick. You're not just gonna keep him on the bench. You're going to use them in passing situations, you know, you know, one of the best receivers out of the backfield here, so, you know, we're going to have to I mean it it's gonna be tough. I mean, I don't know if we're going to get like a startled running back out of this back feel. I mean, it feels like best case scenario, you know, Lindsay and Freeman might be between like 10 to 12 touches each. We can we're going to hope that we get Flex Flex, you know worthiness out of them. So it is a little frustrating right now and it's didn't get any better after the first week with the freemen ripping off the big run. I have them both ranked as number three running backs for Fantasy right now, and I don't know what to do with reading because I mean we know Riddick is Tommy can't run. He's just not enough and he's gonna catch three balls for 39 yards and I don't know what exactly that does for you for fan, you know at the end of the year. He's gonna put Up, you know serviceable numbers, but it's not going to be anything. That's like oh God. I got to get him into a wine up here. So this backfield is going to be a headache all year what you heard my conversation with Gregg as well flipping over to the Seattle side, and he said Brian Schottenheimer wanted to use his running backs a little bit more well in the passing game and he said he thought Richard Penny was the better option for that lo and behold 27 yard reception for Rashad penny in this game. Yeah, nice nice reception, you know. Gonna be interesting to see how that kind of plays out. They don't have that Mike Davis behind them that was kind of their passing back, you know, not exactly counting on like CJ prosise at this point. So I think it's gonna be a two-pronged attack and nice to see Penny, you know do something as a receiver in this game and it's I don't like both of those guy the more I think about that Seattle backfield. I kind of feel like they're both pretty decent little values here, you know Carson in the fifth round and Penny and this middle of the Seventh I should invest a little bit more here in in. Yeah, I've started to get a little bit more Carson and Penny. So, you know, I'm liking I'm liking both of these guys right now early and earlier in the preseason where Carson was going off the board. I universally preferred Philip Lindsay. It looks like that right now that looks like that was a mistake on my part and you know, I didn't anticipate the theoretical signing. I didn't anticipate Denver trying everything in their power to limit Philip Lindsay's I don't understand it, but it's looking like that was a mistake on my part in much the same way that the Duke Johnson picks that I had early look like a great move on my part. It's just one of those things that happens when you draft this early. Yeah, I think start to crystallize here and you know, hopefully we get a little more, you know resolution here as the pre season goes along. But yeah as just throw on that third guy into a backfield really throws a wrench in you know, these are it's kind of a similar situation. In between these two between Denver and Seattle, but now we get the fuel Riddick thrown into Denver. It just complicates it even more, you know, splitting it up two ways. Is it necessarily the worst thing for Fantasy? But whenever it starts getting split three ways, it becomes very frustrating. Okay, one more thing Noah Fant work with the starters for the Broncos. So that's noteworthy. He's been one of my most drafted players and best balls that I tend to I think he can catch a lot of passes this year. Oh, let's go back to Detroit for a second Tom because okay TJ Hawkins The other rookie tight end out of Iowa didn't even play which means he's getting the starters treatment in Detroit. So that's that's noteworthy as well. If you're in on Hawkinson this year. Yeah, we saw earlier, you know in training camp that he was working with the first team, you know, first day of practice. So not not a huge surprise there but you know you like to see that so you typically expect rookies to play though. Yeah. So, I mean that is a pretty good sign they must you know, like where he is or I don't know maybe the line Lines don't even give a shit and you know, they got their asses kicked last night by the Patriots. So they're not really maybe they're not even really taken to the preseason. Seriously. So the Chargers in the Cardinals Tom and the the Chargers backfield hear Austin Eckler was the starter. However, he fumbled at the goal line that has been a problem for him just in general great for that though. So yeah, he's you know, and that's what he is though. And this is where I talked with Greg Cosell he goes, you know, he really likes Eckler. Likes Jackson, but he doesn't think either of them is a foundation back so they have to work in a rotation if Melvin Gordon's not in there, but Melvin Gordon certainly smirked at the Austin Eckler fumble. There's no doubt about that. Oh, absolutely and I mean what happened after that with Jackson fishing at the goal line feels like it could have ramifications, you know, if Gordon would sit out here a little bit. So absolutely. Yeah. I mean it looks like Jackson would be you know, I'm not gonna say off of one preseason game that Jackson is the goal line guy, but you certainly have to take that into account, you know one guy finished in one guy fumbled. So that's a something to keep an eye on here. If Gordon does sit out a couple catches for Hunter Henry. I mean, not that it's a surprise because he played in the playoffs but it's good to see him out there in producing. He's locked into his ATP. Mike Williams had a nice grab but the big story here, of course Thomas it's going to be in every preseason game the performance of Kyler Murray. He goes 6 to 7 for 44 yards looks very sharp. Most noteworthy backed up to their own goal line along expiry has Kyler Murray in the shotgun Tom. So they're going to run their offense. They're going to run their shit. I love it man. This is gonna be this is gonna be great for Fantasy, you know watching these Cardinals all season long. They they stuck to their guns, you know, going shotgun at their own two-yard line and they're throwing it around, you know, Murray goes six or seven, you know, they weren't being shy and his first game One guy we've mentioned a little bit Keyshawn Johnson. He did screw up a route along the sideline. He you know didn't show any kind of awareness. So that's something to keep an eye on is that Murray's only incompletion? Yeah, I believe so or maybe it was because it was actually a completion. I think I might actually been just a penalty marked it back because he he stepped out of bounds and then regain, you know, it caught the pass so that probably wouldn't wouldn't have counted as a his incompletion with just been a penalty.

Tom a nice little recap there of the preseason action thus far once again, we're trying to give you as much information as we can but we don't want you guys to think that we're trying to overreact here to anything that happened certainly the most important thing Tom we're going to get out of this is injuries and now maybe once we get into the second and third preseason games and some surprising playing time issues clear up than will then we'll start to talk about those a little bit more but injuries or the big For us and we want guys to look good. It's not a death. It's not a death. Knell if you don't look good in the preseason, but of course, we'd rather you look better so we will keep you keep you abreast on that. But before we get into some site updates Tom, let's finish up the podcast with our team to a days. Let's start in the NFC with the Philadelphia Eagles with a bedding and fantasy preview. Okay, I finished nine and seven last year snuck into the playoffs, you know, made it to the divisional round where they lost the It's finished under their ten and a half when total total offense 365 yards with was 14th scoring offense, basically 23 points a game which was 18th. Place per game sixty three point nine, which was ninth keep offensive players. Lost Golden Tate, Nick Foles and Jordan Matthews key additions DeSean Jackson miles Sanders Jordan Howard Andre Dillard and jjrc go white side on the count of targets a hundred fourteen, which is 6 18th overall and this year's win total nine and a half with a nice chunk of money going towards the over at - 150 the under is paying plus 120 right now. That seems like it's low Tom, that's the first one where I'm like they should win idea. I think they'd also get these numbers little bit earlier this summer. So I don't know if there's been updated but I think I think not in has been pretty widely the number, you know, obviously with a little bit of money going towards the over there. You probably get some tens Some spots but yeah, yeah, it feels like an over especially with the two teams at the bottom of that division. By the way, I will have you know, that raw stalker was on the Eagles broadcast doing color commentary and he pointed out that it is not JJ or Sega Whiteside. It is our Faygo Whiteside was that just how Ross was talking because last night I saw that but you know, it sounds like he was under the weather here. I was get sick couple reports there, but it is it is officially our thing away. Whiteside so you got to like get your tongue involved on that our feta. Yeah. Okay. That's the Spanish dialect jjr thing. A white side was born in Spain. So it looks like our Sega but it's pronounced R Theta so there is our update on on the Eagles Tom going to be a great team. What's that? I won't forget that. All right. Yes our Fegan Whiteside. So here we go. The Eagles I think they're a great team for Fantasy. I think they're a great team to bet on at that. There is juice going to the override still would take the over. Philadelphia and Tom will we're going to switch over to the AFC and another Super Bowl Contender the New England Patriots. Like I've seen the Eagles and Patriots together at some point recently recently Patriots 11 and 5. Of course, they won the Super Bowl in that barn burner over the Rams. They pushed their win total and it was at 11 last year finished fifth in often total offense. 393 yards a game 27 points, which was Fourth place for games 69 very nice 69 which was second key offensive players lost Gronk. Of course Chris Hogan Patterson, Dwayne Allen Trent Brown, Adrian waddle key offensive additions and the kill Harry Damien Harris Ben Watson Demaryius Thomas, Jarrett Stidham, you know the Bliss goes only Myers to Kobe Myers. Don't roll it man. Maurice Harris, you know, they just brought in a whole bunch of new guys. 2019 when total is set at 11 and a half little bit of money going towards the under - 125 over at minus 105. So I'm looking at it nine little little notes nine straight nine straight Seasons with the top five scoring offense the benefits of playing in the AFC East there and also the benefits of having Tom Brady. So yeah Tom just a team every year people want to knock them and say this is the end of the year and I mean their offensive Personnel doesn't look great but they always find a way to do it and you can thank those other teams in the AFC East for sure when it comes to the New England Patriots. Yeah, it smells like they're trying the up the difficulty for Brady, you know, he's in his 40s. Now, you know, let's this feels like back 10 years ago whenever you know before Randy Moss got there with some of the you know, the skill position players they had around them. So the difficulty has been ramped up. But of course, they're the defending Super Bowl champs so discount them, you know. No, you do it at your own Peril. Its it hasn't worked in recent years. Okay. So let's give you a little update on what's going on at Fantasy free agents.com Tom and I right after the podcast we're going to go through our rankings and do a final tweak and we are going to put cheat sheets up for the first time this year. We're going to have a PPR positional and non PPR positional both will be tiered will have a top 150 PPR of top 115 on PPR and I will have a PPR auction cheat sheet as well. Those will be up on the siding. Site, and those will be updated Tom every Friday. It's looking like and maybe in the last week of the preseason will do them a couple of times a week, but that that's the plan for right now with those cheat sheets be on the lookout for those at Fantasy free agents.com. As always everything is going to be free to use if you want to donate out of the goodness of your own heart. There was a link to do. So right on fantasy free agents.com and in the the show notes for the podcast if you're interested in doing that as well Tom, you also put up a couple new articles this week on Is he free agents.com so might as well tell the people about what those are. Yeah, they're the rags to riches. It's basically guys that are being drafted very low that have high ceilings. So, you know, I was looking at the quarterback position, you know, so guys. Yeah. We talked to touch on Lamar Jackson how he needs to improve as a passer but you know it got if he does improve as a passer he could be a top-five option next year. So it's basically trying to look into the future look for guys that are rated load this year, but who could potentially Perform at a ceiling here and get into the top of the position. So I got the quarterbacks and tight ends up this week. I got to work on the running backs and receivers. I'll get them up at some point next week. And I'm also working on the the most drafted the like you did a couple weeks ago. So I'll probably I've written up some of that and I'll probably update that and put it up at some point next week reminder.
