00:01:36
Check it out and let's roll decks.
00:01:38
What do you got for us to? Date, All right.
00:01:41
Like I said, we're going to kind of rapid fire through these.
00:01:43
Just so you know, shrewdness listeners are going to be part
00:01:46
of the shrewdness Listener Guillotine League will be
00:01:49
drafting on Wednesday, which will probably be tomorrow by the
00:01:53
time you're hearing this. Hope you're listening, man.
00:01:55
We can't do everything for you, but here's who to draft and not
00:01:58
draft. So one of the biggest ones that
00:02:01
everybody's been waiting kind of all camp for, Terry Mclaurin has
00:02:05
signed. So three years, 96.
00:02:09
He's back on the board, baby, and he's a good one.
00:02:11
So you can put him right in there are.
00:02:14
Terry. Yeah.
00:02:15
So our draft sheet, I have little arrows next to him say if
00:02:18
he signs. So feel free to move them on up
00:02:20
as far as you feel comfortable. So he's going to be there doing
00:02:24
a great option for Jayden Daniels.
00:02:26
I mean, Terry Mclaurin, guys, that's a huge one that I think I
00:02:28
know where are we we're talking about from?
00:02:31
Decks in. Terms of that's where we've got
00:02:33
them. OK, so I had him at, I had him
00:02:35
at 49 and I'd move them all the way up to probably ahead of DJ
00:02:39
Moore at the bottom of round two right now.
00:02:41
So I'd I'd probably move them up half round.
00:02:43
So he's going to be up somewhere in that T Higgins, DJ Moore, DK
00:02:48
Metcalf range, yeah. Yeah, that's exactly right.
00:02:51
So be in there. So that's a good one as we go to
00:02:55
other ones. So there's a couple of whiteouts
00:02:58
that aren't doing as well. So Chris Godwin, you may have
00:03:00
seen the news. Oh, he's not on the PUP list.
00:03:03
That sounds good. No, no, they still don't expect
00:03:05
him to play till October, but they think he could be back
00:03:09
maybe the third week instead of the 4th week.
00:03:12
So they're keeping their options open.
00:03:13
But by all accounts in Tampa, they're saying he will not be
00:03:16
playing another. Yeah, apparently his his ankles
00:03:20
still look like a grapefruit and he had another procedure in the
00:03:24
spring. I don't know, I can't remember
00:03:26
clear of them. And remember in Guillotine,
00:03:30
you're not stashing folks. So unless you can get, unless
00:03:33
you can get Godwin in like the 13th or 14th round, you're
00:03:38
probably not going to want to have him on here because he's
00:03:40
worth 0. But here's the other thing.
00:03:42
So you only have 6 bench spots and there's no IR spots in
00:03:45
Guillotine. So you just be literally having
00:03:48
a corpse and we would call it a corpse spot.
00:03:50
I mean it's not even a bye week. He's just a corpse.
00:03:53
You're just carrying dust. So it's hard to carry dust.
00:03:56
He's a stay away from me. He's totally off my list all
00:03:58
together. I'm not dropped him at all.
00:04:00
Someone wants to carry a corpse for a month, more power to you.
00:04:03
And then when he comes in, they roll them.
00:04:05
Yeah, wait till there's four teams eliminated and pick him up
00:04:08
and at the end of September. Yeah, for perspective, he was
00:04:11
like the 39th overall wide receiver for us.
00:04:14
So like, it's not like we had him super high anyway.
00:04:18
If this was a guy that was in like the top 2 tiers, you might
00:04:21
think about getting him late. But like in the third tier,
00:04:23
don't waste your don't waste your time.
00:04:24
Exactly right. Another one I want to talk about
00:04:27
on the same team. They're kind of snake bitten
00:04:29
Jalen. So he was the one coming on
00:04:32
strong in the slot last year behind Chris Godwin and got to
00:04:35
play a lot when Godwin got hurt. So he was opposite Mike Evans
00:04:38
for the last part of the season. He is on the pup so he hurt his
00:04:41
neck. So it's going to be a four week
00:04:43
minimum for him. So Jaylen McMillan cross him off
00:04:47
man, go Major League on that. This guy here is dead.
00:04:50
We'll cross him off the. List.
00:04:53
So no Jaylen McMillan for us, baby at the shooters, we're
00:04:55
done. Another one who's now going to
00:04:58
rapidly decline in my draft list is Jacoby Myers for the Las
00:05:03
Vegas Raiders. He demanded a trade today and
00:05:06
he's in the final year of his contract he signed back.
00:05:08
Curious timing it is. And and they signed Amari Cooper
00:05:13
today. It is who?
00:05:14
And they did. Also not draftable at this
00:05:17
moment at all in my opinion because they just pulled his
00:05:21
boat off the couch. He's got to go learn an entire
00:05:23
new offense. I'm sure he's got a Raiders
00:05:25
jersey that might still fit. Might be a medium, but Amari
00:05:28
Cooper might have a medium that still fits from his Raiders
00:05:30
days. So we'll see what's up.
00:05:32
But Amari. Perspective Jacoby Myers we had
00:05:35
as the 33rd overall ranked wide receiver, so there's plenty of
00:05:39
other options that are in Tier 3, so don't don't go risky on
00:05:45
Jacoby Myers. Yep, that's right.
00:05:48
Another since we're on the Raiders with those two, Can you
00:05:51
pick it? So Kenny Pickett traded to the
00:05:54
Raiders today from Cleveland. So he will be backing up because
00:05:57
Aiden O'Connell, who you shouldn't be drafting anyway,
00:06:00
broke his wrist and he's going to be out a minimum of a month.
00:06:02
And so he is a backup now likely to be the backup to Geno Smith
00:06:07
if there's no reason to draft him whatsoever.
00:06:10
But if something should happen to Geno Kenny Pickett now with
00:06:13
the Raiders, all right, going to people that do matter.
00:06:15
They're a high-powered offense. It is so Howard.
00:06:19
Handed off to Ashton, John Day off.
00:06:22
That's it. So Malik Neighbors is someone
00:06:25
that's been dealing with multiple injuries, so ankle,
00:06:28
back, shoulder and frankly we. Had high.
00:06:33
I know I love Malik Neighbors but have an injury.
00:06:36
He's still turning to play, so they still expect to play Week 1
00:06:39
and be a full go. But it's just something I give a
00:06:42
little caution, all right? I still think he should be a
00:06:44
first round pick. I just have him at the back of
00:06:46
the first round now because I think there's more value and
00:06:49
less risk to the other guys. I just don't want the first hit
00:06:53
he takes and he lands on his back awkwardly and now back
00:06:56
flares up and his shoulders hurting.
00:06:58
Just makes me a little nervous. I still like him, don't get me
00:07:00
wrong, he's still into the first round pick but I had him at the
00:07:02
top of the first round so I just flipped which part of the round
00:07:05
to go with as a risk avoidance. Are you guys on the same page or
00:07:09
he's like screw it he looks fine to me.
00:07:11
Yeah, that it's super risky to not have your number one pick
00:07:15
contribute in Week 1, so. Look at CMC last year.
00:07:19
Right. If you if you get 2 catches out
00:07:22
of him for you know, 15 yards and then he goes out of the game
00:07:26
with back spasms or something like that, Yeah, your number one
00:07:29
pick and not get you 3 points. No, yeah.
00:07:33
And, and what you're going to be dealing with realistically.
00:07:37
So when you if you're if, if you're at the spot where you
00:07:40
could take Malik Neighbors, you're going to be, there's also
00:07:42
going to be Nico Collins. Drake, London, That's exactly.
00:07:45
Ryan Thomas Junior Devante Adams Huh.
00:07:48
Like, I mean, I'm not saying that the upside on neighbors
00:07:51
isn't higher. It is, but the downside of being
00:07:54
headless after week 1 is much. Scarier it is he's got to get
00:07:58
through, he's got to get through.
00:08:00
So that's the one. Joe Mixon, so he was one of the
00:08:03
top running backs last season he had, he had a little bit of a
00:08:06
dry spell, but he was also really good for the majority of
00:08:08
the season. He's going to be out for a
00:08:10
minimum of four weeks with a ankle and this one we've been
00:08:13
warning you about. All.
00:08:15
Last few weeks so hopefully he didn't have a draft and take him
00:08:18
as and count on him to be a week 1 because we've been telling you
00:08:21
don't expect it and now it finally came out today he's
00:08:24
going to be out of minimum 4 weeks.
00:08:25
So I think on your draft boards though, what you need to do is
00:08:29
now you have to bump up Damien Pierce and Woody Marks.
00:08:32
So those two guys are going to be probably taking the load.
00:08:35
I mean Nick Chubb's going to be first, right?
00:08:36
These guys are going to be right behind because can you count on
00:08:39
Nick Chubb to be a full load? Come on now, that's that's not
00:08:42
realistic. So yeah, Nick Chubb's going to
00:08:45
be probably where he was. I don't think anyone's changing
00:08:47
that. But Marks and Pierce should get
00:08:49
a slight bump in your rankings. So just things to consider when
00:08:52
you're going through your drafts.
00:08:54
We had Chubb ranked #21 and I was taking into account we
00:08:58
didn't think Nixon would would be playing.
00:09:00
So that that's that's about right for.
00:09:03
Where he should be drafted. He hasn't looked real explosive
00:09:07
in the practice. The clips you see, they don't
00:09:10
look like Nick Chubb from his glory years.
00:09:12
So I kind of looking to bump him down probably a couple more
00:09:15
slots. I just don't feel comfortable.
00:09:17
He doesn't look explosive. The only one actually does is
00:09:20
what he Marks and he hurt his finger.
00:09:21
So he hasn't been taking too many hand offs, but he's
00:09:23
supposed to be good back to practice this week.
00:09:25
So keep an eyeball on all those guys.
00:09:27
But the the Houston Texans backfield is looking.
00:09:30
They got a lot of band aids on over there.
00:09:32
So you gotta watch out for them, but at least they're showing up,
00:09:35
unlike Quinn, Sean Judkins. So Browns, the expected RB one
00:09:40
for the Browns, who's high up on a lot of draft lists.
00:09:43
Still hasn't signed, man. So as of today, just looked
00:09:46
again, still no contract. So charges were not filed.
00:09:50
I guess he had some pending criminal actions going, yeah.
00:09:52
This. Seemed like that's what they're
00:09:54
waiting for, but that was days ago now.
00:09:56
They still haven't signed so I don't know what's going on.
00:09:58
You guys heard anything else about him at all?
00:10:00
It's I think it's similar to Rishi Rice, where it's like the,
00:10:04
you know, federal legal process is concluded now, but now it's
00:10:08
the NFL that has to weigh in on what his punishments going to
00:10:12
be. Gotcha.
00:10:13
Which is probably not 0. You're a rookie.
00:10:16
Sign the deal. Like I don't know, I don't know
00:10:18
what it, I don't know what it is but sign it exactly.
00:10:23
Have on yourself any favors by sitting out long.
00:10:26
You have you have 0 St. cred right now, so if someone starts
00:10:29
at your place in week 1 and tears it up, you may never see
00:10:32
the field so. That's right, it happens.
00:10:35
It is not a weird sign it. Sign the deal.
00:10:37
We had him at the Papa tier 430 second ranked running back, but
00:10:42
I would probably even drop him down a little bit more because.
00:10:47
Jerome Ford and Dylan Sampson are going to be they.
00:10:50
They might even have to sign someone else.
00:10:51
We'll see what they do because after cuts tomorrow, there's
00:10:54
going to be some more people changing teams.
00:10:56
But they're not going to be anyone.
00:10:57
You'd probably want to draft in Week 1 anyway, no, So it's just
00:11:00
kind of one of those gigs. Speaking of people moving and
00:11:05
changing places, Brian Robinson, junior of the Washington
00:11:08
Commanders, he is no longer part of the Washington Commanders.
00:11:11
So if you're watching the preseason game last week and
00:11:14
like hearing the same thing we were hearing for the first time,
00:11:16
I didn't know they're looking to trade him.
00:11:18
I didn't know there's problems in paradise.
00:11:19
But he is now the backup to CMC in San Francisco.
00:11:23
So he's learning the playbook, doing all that.
00:11:25
But there's still Isaac Grindo. They got Jordan James.
00:11:28
I don't know where he's going to fit in.
00:11:30
I assume they want him to be the primary backup.
00:11:31
But if you're. What's been reading actual?
00:11:34
Player in week 1, I don't know if I'd do that.
00:11:36
Would you guys out? Not week 1, I'd probably put him
00:11:39
on my draft list, but a draft pick round ten, 11:12 somewhere
00:11:44
in there for CMC insurance. That where you guys are at with
00:11:47
him? Yeah, he's definitely not in the
00:11:48
top eight of your draft board. I think maybe around 9 or 10,
00:11:54
maybe 11 like you're saying. Yeah, I mean, we had him when
00:11:57
he, when we had him starting for the Redskins, we had him at the
00:12:01
26th rank running back. I, I probably got him down below
00:12:08
40 now because you know, CMCI mean the theory is and what
00:12:12
they're saying is he will be the primary backup and change of
00:12:16
pace. Yeah, Jordan Mason that they had
00:12:19
last year. Potentially he'll get some
00:12:21
carries, but he's definitely not going to get as many as he would
00:12:26
have had been had he been the primary guy for the commanders.
00:12:29
So absolutely, I think you got to discount him.
00:12:31
That's where I'm at too. All right, let's jump to another
00:12:33
backfield situation that kind of looks like a hot mess right now.
00:12:37
And riding in the ambulance together.
00:12:39
We got Devon a Shane who is supposed to get back to practice
00:12:43
this week, but he missed all last week with a calf injury.
00:12:47
Now the last guy that was prominent running back had a
00:12:50
calf injury, his name CMC last year and he's expected to play
00:12:56
week one. They expect him to play.
00:12:58
He should be back to practice this week.
00:13:00
My God, if he does, he's healthy, he's fantastic.
00:13:02
But again, risk. So I have bumped him down in my
00:13:05
personal rankings quite a few spots because I don't want a
00:13:09
calf injury lingering into week 1.
00:13:12
I guess it's not a good start and.
00:13:13
This is a super. Scary one because we had this
00:13:16
guy #5 overall for running backs, yeah.
00:13:20
And like, so this is a guy you want if you're drafting him,
00:13:25
he's your bell horse cow. And if that's the case.
00:13:27
Exactly right. You, you cannot have a hurt guy
00:13:32
as your #1 running back, So I agree.
00:13:35
I mean, I really like his talent.
00:13:37
What if he makes the turn? What if everybody's scared and
00:13:41
you're the Let's say you're drafting 16th?
00:13:45
Yeah, and. Get whatever that will be. 19th,
00:13:48
20th. Yeah, 21st, 20th.
00:13:51
Yeah, first man, take it. At 21.
00:13:55
The thing is, you still have probably Bucky Irving, Amarian
00:13:59
Hampton, Jonathan Taylor, Kyron Williams, James Cook.
00:14:02
Derrick Henry could still be available.
00:14:04
I know. There's no way you don't take
00:14:07
Derrick Henry above. I just chain, right?
00:14:09
There's no, I can't do it. I'm taking all those guys first.
00:14:12
So that's who I'm dropping behind.
00:14:13
So I'm putting him all the way right ahead of Chuba Hubbard.
00:14:17
So that's how far I'm dropping him, which is there's nothing
00:14:19
wrong with baseball Hubbard, by the way, but it's a it'd.
00:14:21
Have to be. Round 3.
00:14:24
Yeah, it'd be around. Two beginning around 3:00.
00:14:26
Yeah, depending on how your draft plays out, I guess if
00:14:29
everybody's taking running backs.
00:14:30
But regardless, I would move him down.
00:14:33
He might be awesome, but he could also be the reason you
00:14:36
have no head. So I just I'm not messing with
00:14:38
you. That's that's drama.
00:14:39
I don't need to start my. Reality is somebody in your
00:14:42
league is probably going to jump early on him because they don't
00:14:46
know about the injury or they think he'll be fine, so you're
00:14:50
probably not going to be dealt with that.
00:14:52
But for a really fast. Guy to roll the dice, but I
00:14:54
don't know, week 1 is not the time to.
00:14:56
Roll the dice. Really fast guys with calf
00:14:58
injuries, they make me nervous. So Speaking of that, so we got
00:15:03
Alexander Madison, he's on the IR with his head.
00:15:06
So that was the backup agent Madison.
00:15:09
So don't draft him, Jalen, right?
00:15:11
So he was going to fill in. If there's something with
00:15:12
Madison, well, he's probably going to miss week one with a
00:15:15
leg injury. So now that propels 4th string
00:15:18
running back who we actually like.
00:15:19
And then go back and listen to our preview on Ollie Gordon the
00:15:23
3rd for. Miami.
00:15:26
We kind of liked what we saw from him, so he can go back and
00:15:28
check out that episode for our AFC East rookie preview and
00:15:31
check out what we talked about for Ollie Gordon.
00:15:33
But he's actually looked good in camp.
00:15:35
He's looked good in the games and he he's a well balanced
00:15:38
back. So he can catch the ball and he
00:15:39
can run the ball. He's not as fast as a Chan can't
00:15:42
catch as well as a Chan, probably not as strong through
00:15:45
the middle as Madison. He's probably better than Jalen
00:15:48
right though, So I like Gordon. He might just keep a might keep
00:15:51
a hold on a position. So if a Chan's even playing
00:15:53
well, even if a Chan's playing, I like Gordon's also going to be
00:15:58
playing and probably split and carry specifically in week 1
00:16:01
because they haven't signed anybody else yet.
00:16:03
Again, when the cuts come tomorrow, maybe that changes,
00:16:05
but move Ollie Gordon up your draft list.
00:16:07
And I mean, again, probably not a starter starter, but maybe
00:16:12
it's not would be horrible. I mean like.
00:16:13
It could be around 9 or 10 steal though the first couple weeks.
00:16:17
That's exactly right, and especially if something happens
00:16:20
to HN, I'm not wishing that upon him because he's really fun to
00:16:23
watch play. But if something happens, Ollie
00:16:25
Gordon is now someone to definitely keep an eye on.
00:16:29
All right, that brings me to another one who I like a lot.
00:16:32
I think he's trying the right way.
00:16:33
So Stefan Diggs, New England wide receiver, I think he's
00:16:37
gonna be awesome this year. It's just when it starts.
00:16:39
By all accounts, he is trending to playing in Week 1.
00:16:43
He's looked good and all the practice.
00:16:45
I don't think he's played in any preseason games, though.
00:16:47
I know it, He didn't play in the 1st 2 for sure.
00:16:49
I don't think he'd play into the third.
00:16:50
One step on Dicks. What do you guys think about
00:16:52
him? I know Chisholm, you don't
00:16:53
really like him anyway. You think he's old, worthless.
00:16:55
But wide receiver won for Drake Mann.
00:16:57
I didn't. Say it's worthless.
00:16:59
He broke. It down anyway, but does he make
00:17:01
you nervous by not being a sure thing week 1?
00:17:04
Absolutely. Like I had this guy, you know,
00:17:07
we had him collectively, we had him ranked as the 30th wide
00:17:11
receiver. So I mean, I think given the
00:17:13
fact that he hasn't played, you got to drop him at least 10
00:17:15
slots below that. And that is, you know, now
00:17:19
you're you're veering at the end of Tier 3 for us.
00:17:23
Yeah. You look at who's around him.
00:17:25
And the question again becomes, do you want to have to hope that
00:17:30
Stefan Digg plays or would you like to take Tedoro and
00:17:32
McMillan? Yeah.
00:17:34
Or would you take Calvin Ridley or Jerry Judy?
00:17:38
You know, those are the kind of guys that are in that space.
00:17:41
And I got to see something before Week 1 before I'm going
00:17:46
to put anything on a guy. Yeah, I mean, it could be a
00:17:49
steal. I think he'll be real.
00:17:51
If he does, he's going to be really good right off the bat.
00:17:54
But it's just that question mark for where you at on Stefan
00:17:57
Diggs. This is this is the point in the
00:17:59
draft where you can start taking a little more risk, right?
00:18:02
If if we were talking about Stefan Diggs in the first round,
00:18:06
there's no way a guy is getting on my team.
00:18:08
Yeah, right. But by the time you get to round
00:18:10
four and five, the disparity between wide receivers is a lot
00:18:13
less. You got three, you know, Bill
00:18:16
horse cows ahead with him that you've already picked three
00:18:18
team. So depending on who's there, I
00:18:22
could roll the dice with him. I would rather have a guy that's
00:18:27
been practicing. But we've got him.
00:18:30
But beforehand you had him. We had him about the middle of
00:18:34
round four, OK, before he didn't play.
00:18:38
So when you start looking value, if he gets around 5:00, I guess
00:18:43
you kind of got to go maybe maybe this is time to start
00:18:47
looking. Yep, Yeah, I think someone's
00:18:48
going to not look at the injury report and just think he's
00:18:51
totally fine. And so you just see the name on
00:18:53
the list. He'll probably get taken anyway
00:18:55
by somebody, but just someone. I want our shrewdness listeners
00:18:58
to know what's up and just have a little bit of like, is he
00:19:01
better than the next thing or am I going to get substantially
00:19:03
equal production with less risk for Week 1?
00:19:06
There's also, there's also a phenomenon if if you're play,
00:19:10
you know, fantasy football leagues with enough people,
00:19:13
there will be one guy in your league that's like, you know,
00:19:16
living in 2022. Right.
00:19:19
That's right. He's amazing, bro.
00:19:22
Austin. Eckler still available and
00:19:25
Stephon Diggs. Guys idiots of like stealing
00:19:29
candy from a baby in this league.
00:19:31
Adam Zeeland, Zeke Elliott still on the board.
00:19:36
That's right. And Keenan Allen, you guys are
00:19:39
dumb. It's like 120 catches a season
00:19:43
wrong with you guys. To your point, somebody will
00:19:45
probably take digs before he's a value to you, but if he does,
00:19:49
you know, dropped around 5:00, that's that's a reasonable spot
00:19:52
to take him, I think. Yeah, I think so too.
00:19:54
All right, here's one that I like, but I'm not going to
00:19:58
draft, probably because the value won't be there for me is
00:20:01
Travis Hunter. So he's hurt right now, which
00:20:04
isn't good. He's got an upper body injury
00:20:06
and they plan on playing them both ways, which is great for
00:20:09
football. I think it's be awesome.
00:20:10
But for my fantasy team, I've just come to the decision.
00:20:13
I don't know if they're going to be able to play them as much as
00:20:16
they think. Yeah.
00:20:17
Not being able to practice is not helping right now and upper
00:20:21
body injury kind of have to use your body to catch the ball and
00:20:24
reach for things and tackle. Yeah.
00:20:27
Just don't know. Now he's got twice as much
00:20:28
chance of getting hurt, whether it's a tackle or getting
00:20:31
tackled, I don't know. He just looks way more riskier
00:20:34
to me now, especially they he's already hurt.
00:20:36
It's kind of. Sounds like a prediction that
00:20:39
one of us made several weeks ago.
00:20:41
I don't know. I can't.
00:20:42
I'll have to go. Back and review some old
00:20:44
episodes. It was that we have a guest.
00:20:47
That made I've been brought up. Somebody said something about
00:20:50
this so. Anyway about this so Chisholm
00:20:54
you like to give me your thoughts?
00:20:56
I do but I'm in the same boat. Like I'm now getting really cold
00:21:01
feet with him. I am.
00:21:02
Too, like they're because I pulled him out of the water.
00:21:05
As an offensive player like I, look at where we've got him
00:21:09
grouped around Wandale Robinson, Cooper Cup.
00:21:12
Yeah. Man, those guys feel like a
00:21:15
little more sure production at this point.
00:21:18
So like, he's a guy that here's a, here's another guy that's a
00:21:22
shiny toy that someone in your league's going to jump to early
00:21:25
on, You know, they're going to be like somebody.
00:21:27
'S going to draft all rookies to be a complete.
00:21:28
Team I, I want, I want this guy like, yeah.
00:21:33
So would do that. No way would do that, right?
00:21:36
Simply not this host, Travis Hunter, going down the list a
00:21:40
little bit. Here's another one down.
00:21:42
Yeah, So Darnell Mooney for Atlanta, he's not likely for
00:21:46
Week 1 with a shoulder injury. So to me, that kind of drops him
00:21:50
off my list for the most part until it's a the extras.
00:21:54
So if he's filling up a bench spot, he should be good for Week
00:21:57
2, but that's no guarantee either.
00:21:59
So we'll see what's up. I think Ray, Ray McLeod, who is
00:22:02
healthy, probably jumps into that two spot.
00:22:04
So he's someone he could probably move up your draft
00:22:06
board a little bit. And if you believe in that
00:22:08
Atlanta offense, which they're not bad, I mean, Darnell was
00:22:11
just fine. And Drake London's great.
00:22:12
And obviously, B John Robinson's probably one of the top three
00:22:14
picks off the board for your draft.
00:22:16
So, right, keep an eyeball on Ray, Ray McLeod and he could
00:22:20
almost probably sub his name in for Mooney.
00:22:22
That's probably the right spot anyway.
00:22:24
Yeah, if not a little bit lower. But Ray McLeod did fine last
00:22:27
year. So is that kind of where you
00:22:28
guys are at with that situation in Atlanta?
00:22:30
Yep. No objections.
00:22:32
OK, here's the only thing I would say about about that.
00:22:34
Like you don't know how long Ray Ray is gonna get get reps So if
00:22:39
Mooney comes back. You just go to the slot instead,
00:22:42
but. Yeah, I just, I feel like I
00:22:45
don't know, I'm out. That's why I'm.
00:22:47
On that reserve. Outside of outside of London,
00:22:51
I'm not, I'm not touching the the.
00:22:53
What about Kyle Pitts? Do you believe that's another
00:22:57
talk for another day? We already had.
00:22:58
That totally not touching Kyle. Pitts Yeah, you can go to our
00:23:01
tight end episode and hear all about Kyle Piss and how well you
00:23:05
just go to. The Grim Reaper.
00:23:08
Oh, man. All right.
00:23:09
So we had another one. So Jaydon Blue, he was competing
00:23:13
to be the backup to Javonte Williams in Dallas, which could
00:23:16
be a very explosive offense, but he tweaked his ankle.
00:23:20
They were kind of concerned about it as a low ankle sprain,
00:23:22
though. It's not a high ankle sprain,
00:23:23
which are usually way worse. He should be good for Week 1, it
00:23:26
says. So he should be kind of getting
00:23:29
reps with Miles Sanders still behind Javonte Williams, who
00:23:32
should be the number one. So I guess he probably didn't
00:23:35
really move too much, but I just wanted to highlight that if you
00:23:37
saw the injury and like, Oh no, Jaydon Blue, who we, I don't
00:23:40
know if we're too excited about a guy who skips.
00:23:43
I think the problem is here. I think the problem is he's just
00:23:48
hasn't been used to playing. And so his body's like, what is
00:23:51
this? What is this contact?
00:23:54
I don't know how to handle all this.
00:23:56
So he's, he's, he's in shock from being tackled.
00:24:01
That's probably what's happened. I bet his yeah.
00:24:04
I bet his thumbs are in shape from playing Madden, but.
00:24:07
Look how quick I am on video games.
00:24:10
So Jay down blue, do what you will with them.
00:24:12
He's still not really one I'm high up on, just not there, not
00:24:15
there. Isaiah Davis.
00:24:17
So he's part of the three headed monster for the New York Jets,
00:24:21
Reese Hall and Braylon Allen. He was injured for a little bit
00:24:24
but should be good to go for week 1.
00:24:26
He's back in practice. Looks like there's no
00:24:28
limitations. Kyle Williams, a wide receiver,
00:24:31
he's a rookie for the Patriots, but he was out of practice for a
00:24:34
while. Apparently he's back.
00:24:36
So Kyle Williams back in there should be good to go for week 1.
00:24:40
But where like it might be the three or the four, I don't know.
00:24:44
Not really We'll see about Kyle Williams, but just want to give
00:24:47
you an update. He's back in practice.
00:24:48
So wherever you have them still, he's not one of those rookies
00:24:51
with a starved out starting role.
00:24:53
So beware. Speaking of rookies with no
00:24:55
starting role, Trey Harris. So the Chargers pick from Ole
00:24:58
Miss, he's out and it's with an unknown injury.
00:25:02
I don't know what the heck that means, but he left with trainers
00:25:04
to treat this unknown condition of tightness and some soft
00:25:08
tissue. And we talked last week about
00:25:10
soft tissue injuries is better than a hard tissue injury, but.
00:25:14
What the hell? Is tight where tightness maybe?
00:25:17
I got some tightness, Coach. Where I don't know.
00:25:20
It's just tight, soft. Tissue.
00:25:22
Yeah, my soft tissue is very tight right now.
00:25:26
I'd rather just take my lower body soft tissue, undisclosed
00:25:29
tightness. What should we?
00:25:30
List it as unknown. Unknown.
00:25:33
Well, it's just. Tight.
00:25:35
It needs Co seed Deshaun Watson and Justin Tucker.
00:25:39
We'll get that massage right out.
00:25:40
They they know a good place. So Trey Harris, again, he's he's
00:25:43
should be still pretty viable down the stretch for the
00:25:46
charters, but I'm not reaching at all for him, especially if
00:25:49
he's not practicing in a couple weeks before the first game of
00:25:52
the season. So add on him for backup
00:25:54
quarterbacks, just in case you take JJ McCarthy, know that
00:25:57
Carson Wentz has been signed to be the backup in Minnesota.
00:26:01
Sam Howell, their former backup has been traded to Philadelphia
00:26:05
to backup Jalen Hurts. So as a couple quarterback moves
00:26:08
in case you cover, you're taking a couple of those quarterbacks.
00:26:10
That's a run around the world. I think we did it.
00:26:12
We're trying to get it under 30 minutes.
00:26:14
I think we nailed it. Is there anyone else I miss that
00:26:17
you guys want to talk about on your particular list we need to
00:26:20
touch on? There's only there's only one
00:26:22
guy that I, I have to eat some crow on that.
00:26:24
I say that I think we'll probably be a player this year.
00:26:31
I'm not. You can't do this in Guillotine.
00:26:33
But if you're you listen to us, you do regular, regular fantasy.
00:26:37
I've been ridiculously impressed with Jackson Dart.
00:26:41
Yeah, that dude looks like the real deal.
00:26:44
I was not high on him coming out of college.
00:26:46
He's throwing a crazy ball and you know he's, If he keeps
00:26:51
playing like he's playing, I know he's got two really good
00:26:54
veterans in front of him who in their prime were really good
00:26:58
players, but he's going to really push somebody.
00:27:01
So he he's probably the rookie quarterback I'm most excited
00:27:05
about now. But in general, don't like
00:27:07
rookie quarterbacks stay. Away.
00:27:09
Yeah, they can't take him there. But if an injury happens to
00:27:11
Russell, Russell the love muscle and you're weak 8, you need a
00:27:14
quarterback. And they and they decide not to
00:27:17
go with Famous Jameis. Yeah, I don't.
00:27:19
We'll find out tomorrow whether Jameis makes the team because
00:27:21
Tommy DeVito still look pretty good.
00:27:23
He looks like a competent NFL quarterback.
00:27:25
That's way less money. Well, listen, for my money,
00:27:28
someone's got to have Jameis Winston because an NFL without
00:27:31
Jameis Winston is not an NFL worth watching.
00:27:33
So we need him in the league somewhere.
00:27:36
Someone has to sign this man if he gets cut.
00:27:38
That's it. But I like Jackson Dart.
00:27:39
After he threw a touchdown the other night.
00:27:41
He went over to Jameis. He just had him just eat the
00:27:44
wings. Eat the double S.
00:27:46
It was just awesome. Like this guy gets it.
00:27:49
He's he's learning from some good peeps here.
00:27:52
Yeah. That's all we got this week for
00:27:54
you shrewdness. Make sure you check out.
00:27:57
Yeah, check out the website. We'll have some updates there if
00:27:59
they come in. Just keep in mind we're not
00:28:01
going to update the rankings all the time.
00:28:03
We put up the general ones for a couple weeks ago.
00:28:05
We're giving you the info here and with the last couple
00:28:07
episodes, so you can kind of adjust it accordingly.
00:28:09
It's not drastic changes other the guys that just flat out left
00:28:12
their team. So Brian Robinson is a drastic
00:28:14
change, so obviously him. But other than that, good luck
00:28:18
this week in your drafts. Hope you nail it and we will be
00:28:21
with you all the way this season.
00:28:23
So check it all out and until next time, stay.
00:28:26
Shrewd. Stay shrewd, take care y'all.
