Top 10 takeaways finale the Last top 10 takeaways of the Season Theo told me Theo is our head of content the great Theo greminger who is the think number one high-rising highriser analyst in all of fantasy right now so Bravo to Theo he had an incredible absolutely incredible

2023 and he is running our content he is controlling what articles go out what shows go out and he knows like I trust this guy man he knows we killed it destroyed it in December huge growth in the YouTube channel in December I didn’t think that was possible but he did it

With you know streaming defenses you know a kicker video right he just figured out what people want and grew the channel even in December much to my chagrin I was like whoa this is this is incredible so Theo’s doing a great job and Theo told

Me you don’t have to do the show like it’s week 18 what are you what are we going to accomplish here right it’s January 8th fantasy is over people have moved on you can talk Dynasty if you want to do a dynasty show you could do that

People want that but they looking back at what happened in week 18 really and my response to that is I don’t care I made a commitment to this audience that week one 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 weeks of top 10 takeaways

With the podfather even when my camera fails in the main Woods I will make it happen we will do a video and it’ll just be the logo of the show but you will hear me giving my takes every week even in a week that doesn’t really

Count for Fantasy it was a big DFS week great DFS week but for most fantasy gamers are checked out that’s what he said he said hey we need the Pod father when fantasy is hot not when it’s not and I said uh I don’t care I don’t care we’re doing the

Show we’re doing a show week 18 a commitment is a commitment okay so we’re we’re going forward but this is also a fun show I love doing these shows where I don’t actually have any takeaways I didn’t watch any games with the exception of Pittsburgh Baltimore was on

In the virtual golf bar that I was in on Saturday so I did catch up a bunch of that game I don’t know what happened I didn’t even check my phone yesterday I was busy doing presentations for investors and preparing my feedback like now I have to do these formal

Evaluations of all of our staff all of our directors we meet in January to to look back on 2023 look ahead what’s coming up in 2024 that we need to think about strategize so I was doing all of this 2024 planning in addition to this application uh to become a fantasy operator in

Pennsylvania which is an un Godly tomb of information like I mean this was 50 pages of everything that anyone would ever need to know about me and my wife it was uh it was it was a lot of work so that’s what I was doing instead of watching football I wasn’t doing

Something else it wasn’t some other hobby I’m not cheating on football with another sport not cheating on you all by starting another company and some other sector no no it was all about fantasy football it just wasn’t me consuming the content about week 18 performances so I thought well you know

I only pulled the lever like we have that rip cord that says hey if I have a really busy weekend I could just not look at anything and then I will open the box score for the first time no takeaways to start the show just we’ll open the box scores for the first

Time and then you’ll get to consume the performances with me in real time as I’m finding out what the hell happened that’s also fun I have no idea I have no idea who’s in the playoffs I have no idea who I don’t know I don’t know I well okay I know that Pittsburgh

Won and if Pittsburgh won that means they’re probably in so my my assumption is that Pittsburgh’s in because there was a again the game was on in the virtual golf bar so there’s now these virtual golf bars where there’s a screen and you can hit the ball into the

Screen and there’s all of these laser sensors on the ball impact area and on your Club to measure your Club head speed your Club head angle you know how the ball struck how the ball struck the screen and then calculate exactly what happened and so I get there and I’m swinging away

Practicing and I’m hitting the ball well and my assumption was incorrectly that oh this is this is a classic video game these are very forgiving screens this whole system is very forgiving there’s no way that I’ve hit the Fairway this many times in a row that’s not

Possible when I go to the driving range no way right this is a this is this is a game this is fake this isn’t real loow and behold I was just playing well right and so as soon soon as my shots started to degrade oh boy the the

Course was not forgiving at all it was not forgiving it was like a difficulty of two out of 10 and there there were still holes where like you chipping it up comes back down chipping it up it’s like oh my God so it was very challenging I think we

Got through there was a bunch of us so I think we we we didn’t finish the the front nine before we had to go I was like this is this is tough this is tough but it but that’s golf golf was hard and I assumed it was going to be more

Forgiving than it was because I was like you know the consumer doesn’t want to be here all day no no they do no it’s golf this they they the authenticity and a a a true to life simulation was more important for this business then just you know giving people a fairway lie when

They really don’t deserve a no no no that’s not what happened so I had a lot of fun with that I encourage you to try it out if if one of these bars opens up in your town or city it’s cool it is it

Is it is cool it was it was a lot better experience and I thought and again the accuracy is scary it’s scary because sometimes you hit a ball bad and you know exactly what happens like I’ve hit a ball like that before and I know exactly where that ball goes and then

Sure enough it went exactly where where I thought it would go on the screen and I was like oh gez this is creepy good so yes this was a creepy good I don’t even remember the name I wish I remember the name I should give out the name of the

Place but I don’t remember the name of it I don’t uh I was a passenger in this whole thing so yeah and you could see uh wearing wearing my Lucky Monkey Knife Fight hat right monkey KN fight is is a company I think about frequently in that the whole user

Experience was bad I don’t even remember if monkey Knight had a mobile app they might have but I only remember using it on my computer they probably had a mobile version if not an app I don’t remember I’m sure maybe at some point they did maybe early on they didn’t I don’t know

I don’t remember who cares doesn’t matter at no point was anyone thinking man this monkey knife fight app it really kicks ass and the user experience is awesome I love this thing it’s so easy it’s so cool no one was thinking that right noce think of that and that company sold for $90

Million because they became a fantasy operator had a great time to be a fantasy operator and and then after whatever company bought it I believe bal’s bought it maybe I think Bal the casino group bought it and either intentionally let it run its course and close it after they had sort

Of migrated the users to their a new platform or they just struggled to to make make it work I don’t know why it it failed ultimately um but it eventually did close and there is no more monkey KN fight it’s it’s over but remembering the story of monkey KN fight is something

That I uh will will I’ll never forget it never forget monkey KN fight never forget monkey KN fight so we’re always going to bring bust this hat out on shows that don’t matter right the week 18 top 10 takeaways off we go here we go enough Preamble how how much Preamble have we

Done we’re 10 minutes in we’re 10 minutes in we have not yet started the show we have not yet given a single takeaway except that I’m pretty sure the Steelers Advanced so with that let’s let’s uh let’s hear from BET openly hey so many asked me what’s wrong

With sports books why so many of them fail the answer is simple they don’t innovate they’re just casino sports books on a phone that’s all they’ve been there are a few that are doing a good job we partner with them most of them not so much until B openly came along

Bed openly said hey we’re going to innovate we’re going to do some groundbreaking we’re going to have peer-to-peer betting in all states and you pay 1% when you win you pay just 1% on your winnings you heard that right it’s 1% with code underworld you qualify for just that 1% transaction fee on

Beted openly it gives you ultimate flexibility to set your own lines and browse lines that others have set think about it that’s what betting should be and now that is the reality beted openly. the code is underworld check it out questions in the chat what is my

Handicap well I uh my handicap has fluctuated over the years let’s just say that it is high now it is high if I play a any any kind of challenging course whatsoever I am not going to be a bogey golfer I am my my handicap is going to

Be above 18 it absolutely will be uh if it’s a really easy course pencil me in for bogey golf but if there’s any kind of challenging aspects of the course especially if it’s narrow uh then forget it forget it right I’m I’m going to be happy to Bogey

Holes uh but it is sad it is sad because my my my handicap was down closer to 10 at one point 20 years ago when uh you know I had more time but I even have a a family tournament that uh I used to go to and

And uh I tied for first one year um lost in the playoff but I just want to make sure I say tied for first lost in the playoff I need to say that not second place not second place tied for first lost in the playoff uh

But haven’t even been able to go to that tournament for two years just because there’s been too much going on you think growing player profile the way we’ve we’ve done uh is something that I can do on autopilot absolutely not think we just do all these shows think I can do

You saw me try to do a show uh last week top 10 takeaways two weeks ago from the main Woods how’ that work out right no video the video video was glitching uh who knows why uh you know we’ll blame the computer we we’ll blame blame the old laptop will blame the

Internet connection will blame all kinds of things bottom line is I need to be here I need to be here in studio with you week in week out day in day out to build player profile into what it will ultimately become uh which is you know a well-regarded media

Company and you know and and provide fantasy Gamers with everything they could possibly want from fantasy advice rankings you know Consultants tools all the way through to actually a a a platform where you can play Fantasy Football so I’ve always dreamed of having the being able to deliver every single

Aspect of what a fantasy gamer needs and wants wanted to be the first my aspiration was to be the first to ever offer everything in one app or in one you know set of services so that is the goal and it is ambitious and if you’re going to be that

Ambitious you can’t go to the family golf tournament some years but this year I really want to go this year it’s I’m thinking I might be able to go that I might be able to make it work I should be able to go it’s something I should be

Able to do right put it in the chat confirm that I should be able to go to this thing and eventually eventually what I tell myself is eventually we’ll get to a place where there’s enough people like Theo that I can trust to run [ __ ] and I

Can play more Golf and we can get the handicap back down close to 10 that would be great I played High I mean I played High School golf right like I’ve been playing a long time I’m not just learning now right I have a like I could bust out a 60 degree

Wedge and you know and ooh and ah you know up over a bunker and carry and and and I could do cool shots like I have skills it’s just if you don’t practice you’re dead you’re dead with golf so that’s the golf background that you didn’t need you didn’t want and I’m

Only doing that because I want to see how long we can go without giving a single takeaway we’re now 16 minutes in without a single takeaway so I feel actually I take a lot of pride in that how many minutes can you go on a show called takeaways where you give no

Takeaways Falcons got destroyed by the Saints and then it didn’t matter because the Saints still uh missed the playoffs and aned and I talked about this an and I talked about this on the decision Point show that the Saints being the clear favorites to win the NFC South never

Made any sense that it was totally up for grabs any one of those teams could could win and anen was very much like hey Baker Mayfield could lead this Buccaneers team to the playoffs so uh right I mean I see the Saints winning but the Buccaneers winning 9 nothing hilarious hilarious hilarious hilarious

But let’s go game by game here we’re going to go game by game Saints they crush and they still miss the playoffs Falcons were destroyed but the beauty is they were destroyed and embarrassed Desmond Ritter was actually fine Desmond litter Desmond Ritter was was good right right 300 yards two touchdowns one

Interception can’t complain there just they he’s wasn’t good enough right bejon 25 fantasy points that’s the thing with some of these week 18 performances is they will impact the fantasy rankings for 2023 the fantasy points per game all the metrics count for week 18 even though they didn’t no one’s fasy

League was playing in week 18 or very few right and so this was a DFS week only but yet this was a big week for beon where you’re going to look at his fantasy points per game and it’s going to be up a notch based on what it would

Have been had he had a similar performance from the week week prior big week for kendre Miller kendre Miller coming in and they’re like hey let’s just roll with kendre Miller let’s see what happens no Alvin Camaro and then 73 yards on 13 carries for kendre Miller only one catch though so that’s

The thing with kendre Miller we know kendre Miller is going to give you 70 yards on 13 carries that’s not a surprise what would have been nice from kendre Miller is if we saw a bunch of catches we didn’t see a lot of targets didn’t see a lot of catches so

Unfortunately we don’t know what he is yet heading into 2024 who is kendre Miller what’s his role going to be still wide open Drake London got the targets the nine targets hey this is what we love Drake London nine targets he had eight fantasy points and this is going to be

The Perpetual dilemma with Drake London he has excellent Advanced stats and metrics we know that right his air yard share one of the best in the league and and but it’s two consecutive years now where he’s had Target share air yard share what you want like he’s clearly

Like a top 20 Talent at the wide receiver position but he’s been putting up 11 fantasy points a game for two consecutive seasons and that’s what he is those of you complaining that he’s not hire in our dynasty rankings well you tell me how it’s going to change they drafted bejon Robinson what

Do you think’s going to happen they Kyle Pitts is not going anywhere there’s no path for them to upgrade their quarterback un at seven and 10 unless they trade for Justin Fields but that just became a lot less likely you love to see Rasheed Shahed being the leading receiver he’s going to

Be of value he’s going to be a great best ball asset without Michael Thomas Michael Thomas is over done retired soon hopefully and then that opens up for the consolidation of Targets in New Orleans around Shahed and olave and at Perry two touchdowns I love at

Perry we had at Perry ranked ahead of Michael Thomas and Dynasty I was like that’s just crazy he’s a day three pick what are you guys doing it’s like well some day three picks are actually in a great position and are really good players remember RC fiser he came on and

Spoke as highly about Rashad white as anybody and then on that same show he also talked about how at Perry was the most underrated wide receiver in the 2023 class and there’s at Perry having a better game certainly a more efficient game but just a better game than you ever got from Quinton

Johnston if you could go back in time if you were running the Chargers you would rather have at Perry go back and draft at Perry in the first round over Quinton Johnston and you end up with a better receiver and I just love how Janu Smith does it again Janu Smith tripling Kyle

Pitt’s fantasy production is just funny and appropo in every way and I love it so much uh the Browns uh just basically you know backed in to the playoffs started Driscoll didn’t care started Pierre strong Pierre strong had a nice little game right just like Kendra Miller oh what’s happening here

Right four plus yards per carry for Pierre strong did Pierre strong strong get the targets no unfortunately not David Bell David bell ringing the bell for 2024 you love to see that out producing Cedric tomman why David Bell’s better than Cedric Tillman this was something we all knew

Love to see Charlie football as the leading receiver Charlie football he will be heard from again trust me you will he’s not going away and then Joe Mixon 44 yard run Joe Mixon 111 yards we talked about this hey what would you rather have a first-rounder in

Joe Mixon or Kiren Williams in Dynasty I’d rather have the pick and Joe Mixon I’d rather have the pick in Alvin chra Joe Mixon comes back to the Bengals next year no reason he won’t it’s going to be the band back together with Joe burrow Joe Mixon was underrated heading

Into 20123 he’s going to be underrated heading into 2024 as well Calvin Ridley this is one of those things that kills me Calvin Ridley 100 yards and a touchdown when it doesn’t matter just hilarious but the problem is this is going to impact Calvin Ridley’s overall fantasy output from 2023 his

Fantasy points per game will be impacted by this and then we’re going to be looking up and go oh I guess I guess he wasn’t that bad I guess Calin wasn’t that bad was he right oh I guess he wasn’t no but those of us that were

Actually on the ground that were living it knew how bad Calvin Ridley was especially in the context of no Christian Kirk no Z Jones right so if we look it up if we look at who were the the the top scoring wide receivers for the year it was cidi lamb and Tyreek

Hill right but if you if you sort by points per game you know CD lamb was ahead of Tyreek Hill in both points per game and total fantasy points unbelievable this is unbelievable so and if we scroll down let’s see I’m gonna I’m gonna keep scrolling

Here I you can’t see what I’m doing Calvin Ridley actually uh man he was wide receiver 18 what what this is what kills me he was he finished because of what happened in week 18 Calvin Ridley finished ahead of Devonte Smith ahead of DK medf and ahead of DeAndre Hopkins that is a

Joke that is such a joke as he wasn’t more helpful than those receivers on the season and guess who was a wide receiver one the under the under the radar wide receiver one there were two big under the radar wide receiver ones in 2023 once we factor in week

18 got to factor in week 18 this is very important puka nakua okay was a top five receiver outproduced in both total points and points per game he outproduced AJ Brown and Keenan Allen and Stefan digs well didn’t not produce did not outproduce Keenan Allen in points per game but in

Total fantasy points outproduced AJ Brown DJ Moore Mike Evans Keenan Allen Stefan Diggs Devonte Adams Jamar chase another sleeper in the top 12 Nico Collins so this is a big debate this is going to be a big oh this is a big debate this is a big debate and

Let me know in the chat I want to know what the chat thinks in Dynasty would you rather have Nico Collins or t Higgins this is the big debate where typically if I have a strong feeling about a player then it’s echoed by Theo Dario Evan Evan our our great

Intern who manages our dynasty rankings with Dario and Theo and it’s it’s a team effort Higgins versus Collins is really creating tension at our company it really is this we are not in agreement right in fact I’m on an island really they like Nico Collins a lot

Right and of course like if we look at what what did niiko Collins do right look at niik Collins didn’t he put up close to 200 yards but he must have right I’m looking at I’m just doing the math in my head of where he finished so let’s look at the

Texans Colts game Let’s skip to the Texans Colts game Nico Collins had 195 yards he was nine for nine and the Texans are the four seed home game against the Browns no tank Dell no problem no tank Dell no problem all about Nico Collins it was Nico Collins

And Dalton Schultz and no other Texans receiver had more than 10 yards receiving this was the greatest maybe one of if not the greatest game single game in the history of the Dominator rating metric for Nico Collins he was a wide receiver one he’s got prototypical X receiver

Size and he’s an athlete you know great burst size adjusted burst agility the whole thing great and yet I am wired in a way that if a player has only performed at a high level for one season I am skeptical I am generally skeptical and when a player

Has been a regular top 24 performer like a t Higgins then I generally default to okay I’d rather have the guy that I’ve seen year in year out perform at a level now both of these guys are similar in that they deliver huge Spike weeks like when

Higgins hits he hits big when Collins hits he hits bigs and when they when they put in Duds they they they they dud right the Duds the dud and the hits the hit with the hits are hits and the Duds are duds with Collins and with Higgins so that’s what’s interesting about them

That’s why they’re they’re similar but you know at this point after one one breakout season we didn’t know what Higgins was we weren’t sure that Higgins was a beta in Alpha clothing right it was only years had to go by for this to be revealed this is my issue

Where I don’t have this I have two seasons of Nico Collins being invisible and then him being like an alphal looking top 12 receiver so it it this really this really is a roar satch test on fantasy analysts of like what are the perception Drive ders of players and value and

Dynasty are you a Higgins guy or are you a Collins guy because this is the year that that Higgins had his worst year as a professional heading into a contract year where I mean he clearly didn’t want this like if if he it wasn’t due to

Laziness this was just a bad luck season for T Higgins especially with Joe burrow not being healthy all year this is not the season he envisioned and and with Nico Collins he couldn’t have drawn it up better but in the end one guy has one

Season that we can go back and say hey this was great and another guy has a a bunch of Seasons where hey this was an asset for my fantasy team so do you want the the the guy with Four Seasons as an asset or the guy with

One season but that one season was better than any season that that that the guy with four seasons ever posted we know one guy is a beta we don’t know what the other guy is yet I don’t know I don’t know I’m I’m open to arguments right I’m not take locked on

This my general sense is I’m going to lean T Higgins but I’m open to argument on why no with t no with Nico Colin is different this is a a third-year breakout and and this was very this is all very understandable the whole way so believe in

Nico and you know what T Higgins is I don’t know I don’t know you I know what I know and I know what I don’t know who has a better season next year Nico Collins or t Higgins I don’t know but we’re GNA find out together okay

Uh derck Henry ending with a bang uh his final game with the Tennessee Titans King Henry put up a long run of 69 yards you love to see it Taj Spears though had a touchdown Taj Spears had the three targets and another receiving touchdown so Taj Spears actually had more

Touchdowns in that game than Derrick Henry so Spears ended incredibly strong Spears ended stronger than Rashad white right Rashad white was getting a lot of Touches at the end of 2022 but he wasn’t putting up big numbers and he wasn’t super efficient Taj Spears has been super efficient so

He has earned the role he has earned the job in a way that not even Rashad white could say that he did if you turn back the clock so I am incredibly excited for Taj he is a better player than Kiren Williams in a vacuum I would rather have

Taj Spears he’s better in every way than Kiren Williams okay and so that that’s really it so if you want hey what are you gonna do when if you’re G to trade kyen Williams I like well here’s what I would do I would just do Spears

Plus whatever the guy wants to send me give me Spears plus whatever else to make it to make it balanced fine you know we have the dynasty Dominator apps you can go to the dynasty Dominator app you can pull up the trade evaluator and then you could just put in kyen Williams

And you can put in Spears and then you could put in a draft pick or whatever else and you can figure it out that’s the easiest way to do it it’s like here’s the running back that I think is actually better who has less trade value so

That’s a Target that’s a guy I’m trying to buy on I think buy High I think still think that you consider it a buy high on Tai Spears t spear ended on a high note it’s a buy High situation and it’s a sell high on Kiren Williams again I know that’s not popular

Right fading Nico Collins is not popular people love Nico right now fading Karen Williams not popular people love Kiren Williams right now I get it I get it I’m just an old man who has seen a lot of single season success stories a lot a lot a

Lot Lions finish strong you love to see it lions in the playoffs you love to see it the three seed right and uh the Vikings we knew even if Kirk Cousins was the quarterback the Vikings were not going to the playoffs they were super lucky last year

And the the then came back into balance this year you like to see Gibbs getting more carries than David Montgomery that’s something we we hope can continue David Montgomery is still I think the primary back in quotes the de facto primary back in Detroit but all we

Just need to Pile in more evidence and see more and more and more like okay Gibbs if Gibbs can be a 6040 opportunity share split running back with Montgomery in the 40 next year Montgomery is still going to get carries inside the 10 they score so many points

In Detroit Montgomery is going to be fantasy relevant regardless but we’re just rooting for maximum Touches for Gibbs and St Brown coming through St Brown ended up being the wide receiver three now lamb and Hill dominated but Aman ra the clear wide receiver three and he is the guy that could

Challenge lamb and Jefferson and Chase in Dynasty that there’s a big three now and then the next guy the next guy is clearly Amon ra and and then the question is who’s going to challenge like who’s going to challenge Chason Jefferson well it ended up being lamb

Who’s going to challenge the big three in 2024 it’s Aman ra and I I hope that you know those that were claiming Rashad White’s bad at football that Aman raw is just a slot receiver like can we just it’s just fun to see all the wrongness be vanquished in so many

Fantasy analysts some of them with big audiences just look silly it’s a fun it’s fun to see this it’s great I’m on Raw you love it Justin Jefferson though went completely nuclear with Nick Mullins this is why I’m not worried about the quarterback situation yes it’s probably going to be cousins he’s going

To come back earlier from this ruptured Achilles and anyone is ready for get you know it’s going to be exciting so that so many are ready to just Crown CD lamb and I’m a denter like I’m officially a denter I’m like you know I’ve seen it for more seasons at the same age

With Justin Jefferson why am I in such a hurry to Crown CD lamb when I have Justin Jefferson as the Bird in Hand I I don’t I don’t get it I don’t get it so I I think that the quarterback concerns are fake if you have any quarterback

Concerns it’s going to be about Jordan Addison but Jordan Addison had 15 fantasy points with Nick Mullins Nick Mullins put up 400 yards Nick Mullins is always been one of the best backup quarterbacks and again Chargers did not sign any of these guys that we know to be competent backup

Quarterbacks and again the shameful non- move of last off season was the Chargers not signing a Nick Mullins not signing a a Joe Flaco jacobe brassette especially was there and just Easton stick here we go leaport with the touchdown I mean another seven targets from leaport it’s easy to take Lea for

Granted because now we’re like 10 weeks into this reality that leaport is the best tight end in football and in Dynasty especially but it it’s very strange odd weird that the best tight end would be rookie that he would be this dominant this is unprecedented we’ve never seen

It it’s very exciting and just please before you go to bed tonight genu flect at the altar of Sam leaport he is amazing Jets beat the Patriots 173 I mean what what what the the whole narrative was Bill’s not gonna let this happen he’s not going to go down without a

Fight but now the Patriots are very very much in play for a a top quarterback an elite quarterback I hope it’s Drake may I want it to be Drake may I believe it will ultimately be Drake May and in somehow some way Bill did this team is solid he ran Ezekiel

Elliott ran Kevin Harris and they lost they lost to Trevor Simeon get Trevor Simeon put up yards Bree Hall 28 fantasy points 37 carries that’s irresponsible this guy was was coming off a torn ACL to start the season and you’re going to give him 37 carries in a meaningless game shame

On the Jets for doing maybe I’m sure Bree Hall loves to but that doesn’t help his fantasy case that doesn’t help him like we already knew what Bree Hall is we knew that you give Bree Hall 40 carries he’s going to give you 20 yards that doesn’t help him I still want

Him in Dynasty this is just irresponsible like player usage management but Bill did the team is solid on on his way out oh man I hope he’s on his way out has he been fired yet I haven’t checked the news either I’ve checked nothing I’ve checked

Nothing I have no I know that Ron Rivera was fired as if that wasn’t the most obvious thing that anyone has ever imagined in their in their lives according to the Wall Street Journal bill bellich and the Patriots are about to get divorced so nothing nothing has happened

Yet with Bill bich I expect him to be fired but I have been wrong before about these things uh Buccaneers just did what it did what they needed to win Bryce young put up less than 100 yards and is one of the Great 101 busts or at least rookie bust Seasons we’ve ever

Seen and yet and yet I’m not ready to just walk away I’ve seen Jared Goff have a similar horrific season pton Manning’s rookie year was an Abomination I could see myself getting a bunch of Bryce young in super Flex leagues and two quarterback leagues this

Year in 2024 I think you’re going to see it you’re going to see it happen they’re going to upgrade the wide receivers they’re going to invest in the offensive line this team is going to start turning it around and get ready get ready for Bryce young to become a value unless you

Think that he he can’t improve the one thing we know about Bryce young is he has the capacity to improve that he’s a hard worker that he’s cerebral these guys don’t just fade away right they don’t just go quietly into the night Bryce young will be back so you Victory

Lap the bust you Victory lap Stroud over young and then also you go back because you don’t suffer from take lock and you draft Bryce young that’s what you do and congratulations to Jordan love officially I was wrong about Jordan love he was 27 for 32 he put up over 300

Yards no interceptions see the no interceptions is so big right staying away from turnovers Jaden Reed over 100 yards so I’m fine as long as Reed and Melton are the best receivers on this team which is making all my dreams come true I’m fine being wrong about Jordan love that Jordan love because

Quarterback is the most impossible position to project no one knows look at the Panthers with with Bryce young a lot of these guys no one knows what we have to go on is a a truly bad track record at Utah State for Jordan love that’s all I could base

My projection for Jordan love for 2023 on and he vastly exceeded it and congratulations like awesome job Jordan love Aaron Jones putting up a 100 yard game that no one cares about just the the the empty calorie 100 yards sub20 fantasy points for for Aaron Jones he’s well past the AJ

PEX Roshan Johnson more efficient than Kil Herbert again but Roshan Johnson didn’t get the targets this is perfect the problem with Jaden Reed going nuclear for the final five games of the season is that he’s going to be a lot more expensive especially in best

Ball in 2024 which is not ideal we knew he was great regardless if he wasn’t quite as productive that that would have been helped us with the ADP now Jaden Reed’s like a stud and everyone knows it Roshan Johnson’s under the radar Roshan Johnson is a stud and you will

Only realize it next year and I love that Justin Fields had an underwhelming performance for 7- 10 team helping them get a better draft pick I think that he’s done enough up until this game to convince the team that he is their franchise quarterback I still believe that talk about Ron Rivera out

Commanders Brian Robinson 10 fantasy points he is a cell candidate in Dynasty get I mean get Brian Robinson out of my life he is a plotter he is a better pass catcher than I imagine he did catch three passes got a touchdown as a receiver good for you

But it’s not enough it’s not enough for me and I can’t wait for someone to free Antonio Gibson he you know was the second leading receiver for this team and free Antonio Gibson wherever he goes I want him cidd lamb just padding the stats unbelievable and then Tony Pard

Would have been nice to have that game last week buddy that’s my take Sam Howell another stinker sub 10 fantasy points for Sam Howell remember remember Sam how remember how everyone loved Sam how forgot that he was a day three pick that he’s undersized he doesn’t he doesn’t have a

Big arm like he’s Baker Mayfield like that’s who Sam how is he’s a late round Baker Mayfield that’s what I called him it’s like oh no you don’t understand no no you don’t understand so many of these players no no no you don’t understand Devin single ter no no you

Don’t understand he’s really good trust me Jimmy Garoppolo made an appearance in this Las Vegas Raiders win over the Broncos 2714 the Raiders really needed a good draft pick and the the team conspired to not give them one zamir a total Workhorse and you love to see it he has

He runs a 44 he’s a total Workhorse not catching passes though so but that’s okay there’s plenty of Derk Henry is the best example of this but there are between the tackles Runners who are fast who have great football skills with the exception of receiving that are big time assets for

Fantasy teams and that’s zamir white Jerry Judy put the 16 fantasy points courland Sutton just the dud of the Duds so finally Jerry Judy outproduced Courtland Sutton it took him until week 18 Jerry Judy is a bust but this this game this game you

See this if we so let’s take a look at where Jerry Judy ended up finishing Jerry Judy played most of the games and he ended up being a top 50 receiver Jerry Jody was a top 50 receiver on the year in total fantasy points woof he’s done just enough

There’s going to be people there are going to be you mark my words there’s going to be people that are back in on Jerry Judy this off season you know it you know it I know it everybody knows it God I can’t thank you everyone in the chat

Yes just back up the truck this year on Antonio Gibson and Roshan Johnson like that’s those are your marching orders at running back chuba hubard Taj Spears Kenneth gainwell oh yeah oh there I got truthers at running back I got a list a laundry list of truthers at running back that

You can load up zero RB is going to be back it’s going to be more popular in 2024 but it’s going to be back in my repertoire and those are just some of the running backs I want I don’t want the expensive ones let’s I I I I’m gonna give you one

More I gotta give you one more one more running back okay not Zack Moss wherever Zach Moss goes how about not Zack Moss not Brian Robinson okay oh oh Ty Chandler Ty Chandler yes Ty Chandler had another good game 11 fantasy points why not why not Ty Chandler zamir white there’s another

One so that that’s that’s almost 10 I think I think that’s enough I think you have enough now you know go forth and draft late round running backs until you can’t draft them anymore unfortunately P’s no longer no longer counts peo his ADP is going to be up a

Few rounds this year and so he’s no longer going to be a late round running back like he was this year Clyde Edward cair is a free agent and a deep sleeper at running back that we talked about stashing many many weeks ago ended up impressing L Michel perine L Michel

Perine will be heard from in 2024 L Michel perine is another one of these late round running backs at the end of drafts pay attention to where he ends up no Edward cair it could be that with McKinnon now well into his 30s Edward cir a free agent that perine is the

Backup to peo oh the leading receivers in the Chiefs Chargers game were M Hardman and Donald parum Jr Justin Ross made it into this game Alex Erikson was in this game all these players were in this game and you have to scroll down past Darius Davis this is so pathetic I can’t

Believe this is so pathetic tied with Justin Ross for receiving yards was the receiver that should have been featured wanted to be featured should have been featured I mean I don’t even like him but I can’t believe they wouldn’t find a way to get him more carries more touches more more targets

Something like run reverse versus get the ball in his hands 17 yards for Quinton Johnston I mean what what what Rams are in the playoffs beating the 49ers with Sam darnold at quarterback hey process-wise stashing Sam darnold and super Flex leagues still made sense stashing Elijah Mitchell still made

Sense they didn’t end up producing that’s okay how Carson Wentz ran the ball 17 times I’ll never know that I have to go back and watch that game but you got to love Chris Conley reminding everybody that he still exists that he’s still in the league

Royce Freeman look at the names look at the names Tyler Johnson Tyler Johnson from Minnesota who’s dominant at Minnesota got a touch down look at these names Ray Ray McLoud what a game what a game of names just to remember hey Ronnie Rivers you’re still around

Man you gotta love that game that’s just fun it’s fun to go down memory lane with all these names Tyrod Taylor hey another quality backup quarterback better than Marcus Mariota that’s for sure gainwell he was playing swift was not but he was super efficient because that’s what gainwell does gainwell is on that

List of running backs that you’re not allowed to forget oh Cody Carpenter is gonna love to see quz Watkins was the leading receiver for the Eagles that game doesn’t matter Barkley puts up the 23 fantasy points Barkley begging pleading for the Giants not to franchise him I hope they don’t please don’t

Seahawks needed to win needed some help and didn’t get it so the Seahawks are out of the playoffs sadly Gino Smith good but not great isn’t that what Gino Smith is Gino Smith is good but not great Kyler Murray was super efficient and his number one receiver 6 for six 95

Yards Michael Wilson baby yeah let’s go oh there’s your there’s your highest exposure wide receiver for 2024 Michael Wilson and the reason why is because there’s going to be always they’re going receiver so you got to get you got to get you know the rookie that’s going to

Be Tethered to to to Kyler Murray there’s a chance they don’t go receiver it’s not a lock what if they go by they could go well you know they’re not going to go Bowers so probably going to go receivers but but teams will surprise you right

Even some of the most locked in picks like need plus Buzz together these players are going to these teams for sure there’s always a handful that you just feel like you know and then sure enough one of them doesn’t it doesn’t end up happening so just in the

Off chance that they don’t draft a receiver in first in the first round Michael Wilson his ADP post-draft if they don’t go receiver in the first round would jump multiple rounds and then that receiver could start slow could be a Quinton Johnston could get injured either way everything is setting

Up for Michael Wilson to be the alpha next year unless they draft a Marvin Harrison Jr it’s going to be the Michael Wilson and Trey McBride show get ready like get get ready for it Jackson Smith and jiga another dud that is one of the more difficult players to project

Forward and we’re going to have a big Dynasty Summit later this week and then we’re going to figure out this this uh what to do with Jackson Smith and jiga he’s a name he’s certainly a name but he didn’t have any Spike weeks he is a spike week week free

Receiver when you think about Jackson Smith and jig can you think about a week that he went nuclear no I don’t think there was one I mean let me know in the chat if there was one and I’m missing it maybe I maybe I didn’t I I didn’t

Recall but I’m looking at his weekly performances Jackson’s whoa not only did Jackson Smith and jig but never deliver a spike week he never hit fantasy points in any given game whoa whoa there has to be some study hey fantasy analyst X Out There listening to this

Show you want to write an article go find every rookie receiver that was drafted in the first round that did not give you a 15-point week and see if any of them ended up breaking out ultimately in the NFL I don’t know the answer but that’s why it’s a great

Exercise it’s very difficult to find Quinton Johnston on a list of fantasy performances because it’s just you have to go down so far Quinton Johnston also never crested 15 fantasy points in any given game his best game was 13.4 fantasy points in week 10 so sad so so

Sad just keep coming back to Quinton Johnston fun game bills Bill’s Dolphins fun game and you know the bills are really good and it’s fun to get reminded how good Josh Allen is 350 plus yards running 15 times completely took over was awesome 26 fantasy points khil Shakir is better

Than Gabriel Davis Gabriel Davis had no yards Shakir had 100 plus and he was six for six he’s super efficient he is the natural number two in Buffalo he’s another receiver I’m going to have a lot of next year in all Formats this is one of those few games where I’m glad he put up big numbers in week 18 it didn’t necessarily skew his final ranking and you know it’s going to be discounted by all of those that are that are looking at the performances for the

Year and so you’re still going to get a significant you know value in drafts on khil Shakir but it’s nice to know that he has this kind of game in him he’s fast he was dominant in college he has the body type that’s closer to like the a big- time NFL producer now

Than Gabriel Davis more Gabriel Davis more of a throwback if it was 20 years ago might prefer Gabriel Davis but but in today’s NFL it’s all about KH Shakir Steelers won Naji Harris patting his stats don’t get fooled by the Naj Harris finish to the season there’s going to be plenty of

People that are going to be touting niji Harris that he’s back that you know he he had you know was was a tricky period there where the coach was implying that they preferred Jaylen Warren but in the actual touch distribution that never manifested it was always niji Harris at

Least almost every week except one or two and Naji Harris is the man in that b five for five out of the back backfield as a receiver and then George pickings was shut out he had one carry so George picking shout out that’s gonna happen this is what those of us that are

Pro pickings I laid out his stats his incredibly impressive stats especially stats like Dominator rating and and Target Premium where he’s top five in the NFL so there’s multiple efficiency metrics where he’s top five in the NFL I love Pickins moving forward uh just to continue to grow and evolve and him

Putting up a dud in week 18 and suppressing his uh you know total fantasy points for the season it’s perfect perfect and Deontay Johnson putting up 18 fantasy points that’s not GNA bolster him for next year anyway so you can still get both these guys I like both these guys I’m going to

Continue drafting both of these guys and so this was a sort of a dream outome here and again you’re not drafting Naji Harris Naji Harris is not f fast and there’s nothing separating anaj Harris from any big plotting back that’s just getting Zach Moss right there’s not a big

Differentiator between Zach moss and Naji Harris there’s just not except draft Capital that is it that is it so don’t be fooled by this the the the final flourish of Naji Harris it’s the case with most running backs don’t get talked into don’t talk don’t get

Convinced that oh no this guy this guy’s actually worthy of an earlier pick this guy’s I’m gonna move up and get this guy this guy okay I like this guy where is najja Harris gonna go next year who knows no one knows what is ADP is going

To be it could be as high as like fifth round you could see it and then it’s like get out of here because there like a fifth round pick in 2023 was Kenneth Walker and Kenneth Walker actually has Breakaway speed like he’s like Naji Harris but Breakaway

Speed zamir white he’s like Naji Harris but Breakaway speed and Isaiah likeley was productive and efficient again he’s not going away when is the conversation going to start about Mark Andrews having an Isaiah likely problem that’s an open question and we talked a little bit a little preview of Texans Colts that was

A cool fun game stad was super efficient again single Terry productive 13 fantasy points gave you the touchdown but single Terry is not a strong receiver only one catch again so again just another one of these running backs that gets plucked from anonymity everyone thinks oh he’s washed

It’s over signs for the bare minimum never produced in Buffalo cardboard cutout backup running back oh next thing you know he’s he’s an every week starter in fantasy forget about it get him out of your mind right Michael Pitman 44 yards the rare game for Michael Pitman

Where he’s not giving you nine targets right Jonathan Taylor padding the stats reminding everybody why he’s Jonathan Taylor and again not going to convince me to draft him next year we’ll see but we’ll see I mean maybe maybe the overall stats from 2023 will suppress Jonathan Taylor’s ADP where I can be

Convinced I don’t know where he’s going in early you know way too early drafts yet my sense is there’s no [ __ ] way I’ll be able to draft him with a straight face but he would be one of those running backs where if he leaks a

Few rounds like okay now I could I could figure Travis etn in the fourth round right that’s what we’re looking for who’s that running back that’s going to leak into the fourth round that could be Travis etn in 2024 there’s a running back I can believe in Will Taylor leak

To the fourth round no way I don’t see it so I don’t see me drafting him much at all stoud over burrow then the question is strad over momes strad went 20 for 26 I mean this was against one of the worst secondaries in the league and that’s why Pitman posting a dud

Or excuse me that’s why Collins going nuclear didn’t surprise me right that’s the thing you got to look back and say okay who did Collins shred again right so the team that gets utterly destroyed by outside wide receivers by perimeter wide receivers is the team that he put up his biggest

Weeks against okay right this is how a player can come from nowhere and be a top 12 receiver and if you draft him as a top 12 receiver the following year you’re a sucker like this is how it happens like who did he produce against Michael Hitman can produce against anybody I’m not

Convinced that’s the case for Nico Collins it may be a conversation where someone thinks that Nico Collins is better than Michael Pitman that to me is insane I think the conversation and the tension point is Collins and Higgins and but it is conceivable that people get

Out over their skis on these guys that have big years and say oh yeah well the debate really is it’s a really good debate between uh Michael pit and ni Collins it’s like uh what the hell are you even talking about Michael Pitman is a
