the top chicken players on sexy, players, chicken players? Yeah.
It's a Jim Harbaugh thing. Oh yeah Jim nervous.
Nervous plate like yeah
he thinks. Chicken is a nervous Bird? Yeah. I don't know if we
have the Tweet
there. But yeah, I mean, you know, chicken chicken is
a nervous bird. According to head coach, Jim Harbaugh, he didn't
want his players at Michigan to eat chicken and so as a result,
I
every year that I do, my ten list of 10 which is available
now on rotor world.com, NBC sports.com for free. I'm of
course a company man. Now
I have my chicken players and these are guys
Connor. That make me
nervous. I have them ranked appropriately. I'm not saying
they're going to be bad this year. I just you know like
every year there's a guy whether it's due to
injury, whether it's bad for Fort like
every year there's guys that just sort of like just don't
live up to expectations. Are disguising based on where
they're going at ATP. Just give me the heebie-jeebies. Yeah
cold feet I want to the first one fascinates me
jobber. Oh yeah. Maybe not a most, a very popular pick. Not
a popular pick for this exercise. We will love Joe.
This year, they see to March. It's called the Ferraris at
wide receiver. Upgraded the office? Yeah. Well and that was
the only issue. Sure. Why you nervous? I know the schedule is
tough. Schedule is tough defense. The Bengals defense is
good. Yep. And and while the offensive line is good, great,
he's going to have more
time to throw fantastic. They're also able to run
the ball more effectively, right? And so, I think they may be
getting this more balanced offense. They don't need to get
into shootouts. You think about last year, when Joe Borough
had three different games,
he had the two games against Kansas City, one of which was
that week 17 Crazy shoot I came and then he had I'm
He had two different games against the Ravens
and then the week 17, shootout game against Kansas City, so
corrected, myself right there. So we had three games, we're
just had monster numbers,
those three games,
Accounted for 47% of his fantasy points
last year,
like he doesn't run. So he needs to be to go where he's
going on and he's going as a top five quarterback on Yahoo
which is
mind-boggling over Herbert. Sometimes he's going to I've
seen him go over Herbert he's going over, Lamar Jackson over
Kyler sometimes he's going over my ride-or-die Jalen Hurd. It's
like
I don't know like two to be a pocket passer and go
as a top five fantasy quarterback
you need to have insane.
Truly massive passing touchdown upside and I get it with those
wide receivers. Maybe I just,
I think in that Division, I think they're going to be more
close games. I don't think he's going to have to get a shootout
and if you look at his numbers from last year, you had that
magical run to the Super Bowl but prior to week
17. So we the last two weeks he was great.
He had like six straight games
with you know two or fewer touchdown passes. He just he
was more inconsistent than I think people realize so he
makes me nervous
concerning. Where he's going. Do you think there's
a component to it to that? Hey, they improve the offensive line
drastically. We're so excited that now it's like, hey, we can
also run the ball more. That's what I'm saying, right?
Exactly. I think mixing has a big gear, I mean,
and they love some odd. JP Ryan, you know, probably too
much, probably cost me Super Bowl but like the fact is is
like, right? That's what I'm saying. I think it is a more
balanced offense this year because they have the ability
to run the ball
and because honestly, they're not going to have to get into
shootouts because their defense is really good. Okay. A team
that might find themselves in some shootouts dolphins and on
this. Tyra kill one of the biggest Acquisitions of
the offseason.
Paid a premium price for them, not just with draft Capital,
but also, with the contract goes from Patrick Mahomes
to to a tongue of my Lola.
That's a big change. Is that? It's a downgrade, your same
big, change your being nice. I wore my well, I've been in
traffic for like three and a half hours. Let it all out.
Yeah, exactly. No.
That's a, that's a
that's bad. Yeah, it's a downgrade. I all due respect to
to at unga by Aloha. You ain't Patrick the homes. Like, by
the way,
there's only Two people on the planet. They weren't even close
to like a petrol bomb. So that's not an insult to not be
as good, a spectrum, but that's a massive downgrade. It's
a downgrade in Talent. It's also a downgrade and just chemistry,
you know think about how many off-schedule plays that Tyree
kill and Pat Mahomes connected a connected on over the years.
Right. Breaks down scrambles
Tyreke, just go along
will that connection be there with to
immediately? The other thing is that just so much unknown
fantasy is so Random because of the the way games go that we
try to narrow.
Out the randomness as much as we can
and with this offense new head coach a lot of new pieces. It's
not just it's not just Tyree kill but they added set rules
and they add a Chase Edmunds, they add a Rahim moster? How do
those guys fit with Jalen waddle and Mike, it's icky.
Lot of chess pieces for Mike McDaniel, play with who's never
been a head coach before. How does that all work out? I just
there's so much Unknown about this Miami offense for Tyree
kill to be going where he's going,
which is basically like wide receiver eight or nine on Yahoo
like, you need to be really sure about Out this and
the one thing I'm sure about it, the guy's talented tyriq
Wills super talented, but does he get the massive Target?
Share that he got in Kansas City, how much of
the downgraded quarterback? I just makes me nervous so he's on
the chicken list. Again I have is I have them ranked as a top 10
wide receiver.
I also own, no shares of him this year's thing. Yeah, you
have them as wide receiver. Ate his ATP is right around 23.5.
That's a significant investment for him. So I understand,
I understand the reservations.
Another one here in the back field, David Montgomery. And
this one, I know and I heard you and Freddie talking video
but I know no, but the offense is stuffins, one's really bad
unit. We had coach Garrett on
the fantasy football, happy hour earlier
right and you know, contractually obligated coach
Kerr.
Come here like,
yeah, but like they threw it into his contract when he
wasn't looking, he knew exactly
right. Exactly Barry. Every once in a while poor coach
Garrett, you know, they'll suck coach Dungy in here at some
point to
like anyway, so Pope or coach Garrett contractually.
Obligated Jason Garrett. Came here was very nice and he did
a training. Camp tour, and he's gone. And,
you know, and, you know, he knows the the Chicago coaching
staff, a lot of those guys have worked with him
at the Cowboys. And so
he just said, and Jason Garrett, might be the nicest
man on the planet. Even,
you know, so when Jason Garrett, like
he's just like, you know, that that offensive line is going to
take a little time and shell out of them, right? He was just
like a little time to gel. It's a work in progress
which is Jason Garrett, speak for
their brutal. They think that's the worst offensive line of
football. And so now, David Montgomery like Is
the, the Pro Diver Montgomery argument is that, he's a three
down back who gets massive volume, but we don't know that
we, this is not a coaching staff than,
you know, like, Khalil Herbert. Herbert is a good running back
and I heard any earlier in the show talk about Herbert is
a way where I pick. I totally agree with that for all, we
know, this could be a committee, it could be a 50/50
split
and so we just don't know that Montgomery's gonna get the kind
of workload, he did last year and even if he does, how
effective is he given how much we expect that offensive line
two.
Struggle. So Montgomery just makes me nervous. He's one of
those guys that's going in that running back Dead Zone, where
I'm just like, I'd much rather take a wide receiver there,
or even a tight end or,
you know, one of the early quarterbacks, you know, that,
that four rounds four through six range. You know, give me
that, give me that Kyler Murray's, the Jalen Hurd, says
that the world
give me the wide receivers the Brandin, Cooks, his
that are go in there that The Courtland Sutton's.
Give me those guys. Not
David Montgomery. Yeah, a committee back on a team that
should have a struggling offense because the bed
offensive Honestly, a quarterback whose leg should be
utilized in the Red Zone, more, which would take away. Yeah,
goal line touches from on Justin. I mean, usually, mobile
quarterbacks help running backs generally in terms of fantasy
production. But to your point if Justin field calls it, let's
call it
four rushing touchdowns this year
five which is not out of the range. I mean
of course right? You know, he's so mobile like we saw a couple
of great ones last year, like four touchdowns that
potentially would have gone to David Montgomery if Andy Dalton
were still under Center, then
Yeah. That makes a big difference.
Alright the last one on the chicken list that was got her.
Yeah Jalen Hurd says your guy he is
Dallas got hurt your a little little concerned about made
a huge. They made a huge move getting AJ Brown a Target
Monster. We know that AJ Brown comes in and commands
the football. He had a 27 percent Target share last,
massive, right? So he's going to get a 25 to 30 percent
Target here on this team. You've also got Devonte Smith.
We know this is going to be. We expected at least we expect
this to be
a slow-paced team. That is going to be still run heavy
because of their offensive line because of the three-headed
monster, they have it running back because of Jalen hurd's.
His own ability with his legs. We expect this is a team that
was one of the most run-heavy teams in the NFL are top two in
the NFL
in terms of in terms of rushing attempts last year. So
this is a team that we expect to once again. They'll be more
balanced this year but it would still lean towards the Run. Six
Red Zone Target
its last year. When
last year without AJ Brown their
Dallas, Goddard had six Red Zone, targets 37th among tight ends.
And so, the argument doubts Goddard is that you expect
a lot of volume. But again, with AJ Brown and Avante Smith
there, I think God. It's a really nice player.
I'm concerned about the Red Zone usage and I'm concerned
about the volume on what should be a slower-paced run-heavy
team and for him to be going, I've seen him go, it's like
tight in seven or eight. Like I'd much rather have Zach ertz.
I'd rather have Zach ertz straight up,
but especially Zach ertz two or three rounds later.
Alright, his former teammate just to for an easy comparison.
I'd much rather Hawkinson who's Around the same range as
Goddard as well. He just again,
chicken player makes me nervous.
