You both laughed at Mike clarifying that the Senior Bowl is for graduating Seniors, but the ironic part is that they changed the eligibility last year and many draft-eligible juniors participated.
Jason is right about AOC. The man was third string till Josh McDaniels and the OC got fired. QB coach was promoted to OC though he has is very young and inexperienced. Really, really tough situation. He did finish his last five games with 9 tds vs 1 pick, though.
Yeah I’m getting a lot of Pacheco as RB2 and Ridley as WR4 in mocks. For Pacheco: top tier offense with a workhorse RB and unsettled receiving corps. For Ridley: Callahan and the Titans signed him to be Ja’marr Chase.
Everybody keeps using this “signed him to be chase” quote that came out but literally everything is a downgrade for him this year.. I’m not seeing the vision, he will be an 800 yard 4 td guy this year, not great
@@carlherbranson9536 you think Jason is more accurate than Andy? All I can think of is Andy played Devante Adams championship week and won lol i would have benched him. Also, mike evans was his my guy last season. He seems wise...
I really truly do not understand the Calvin Ridley stuff. Not one bit. For starters, he hasn’t been good since before the pandemic. On top of that, last year he was in a better offense, with a better quarterback, and no major competition for targets that matter for fantasy. Now, he’s a year older, on a worse offense with a far worse QB, and has to compete with one of the best target earning receivers in football. He’s not going to just become Atlanta Calvin Ridley again. His ceiling is matching his season last year, and I don’t want that in the top 8 rounds of a draft lol. No idea where this love is coming from from the industry. He hasn’t demonstrated any proof that he’s still good at football. The Jags felt comfortable replacing him with Gabe Davis, that tells you all you need to know.
It’s just his low cost, that’s pretty much it. You’re not really giving up much to take a chance on a guy that many feel could still be a top 15 guy. If he works out, it’s a great value, if it doesn’t work out, who cares?
Some guys are just not meant to be a #1. JUJU is a HELL of a #2. Ridley with Julio was ELITE. Last year Jags got him to be the #1. He is not that guy. But with D Hop and Burks and this offence wanting to be a Pass happy offence. He can be a solid Fantasy Value with his ADP.
The Jags played Ridley at X where he was on the line of scrimmage and couldn’t be moved around. They played him like he was Deandre Hopkins when he doesn’t win like that. Deandre can play X because he can run every route on the tree and is playing at the same height as ridley 20 pounds heavier. My prediction is that Ridley will be much more efficient this year, and his situation looks a lot like when he was across from Julio in Atlanta. I don’t think Hopkins is washed, but Ridley will benefit greatly from having that presence at X allowing him to played at Z. If Will Levis is ANY good Ridley will outperform last years numbers
You think Levi’s is far worse than Lawrence? I beg to differ he balled out when he played. Also Ridley was open 90% of the time and Lawrence wouldn’t even throw the ball his wag
Love Burton but there’s not enough catches for Burton after Chase and Higgins get theirs. Higgins is in a contract year and I expect Burton/Gesicki/Iosevas/Chase Brown to split third receiving option catches. Give me Cooks if I’m banking on injury for WR5.
I’d be taking Christian Kirk over George Pickens if they didn’t draft Brian Thomas in the first round. Although, opening up the jaguars downfield offense might complement Kirk’s skillset beautifully this year. I don’t have those answers, I like both players to improve over last year’s numbers.
15:15 you cant flex your Mike Evans call while conveniently ignoring your 2022 my guys: - Allen Robinson | WR29 -> WR84 - AJ Dillon | RB27 -> RB26 - Mike Williams | WR20 -> WR32
I don't get the Pickens hype. He's a good player... but do we really trust Arthur Smith after the last few years with Pitts/London? I like Pickens the player but the Sith Lord is gonna strike again.
I distinctly remember jason declaring with full confidence that jordan love was “just not a good qb” and not a fit for the nfl after just 3 weeks last year
I love how much Andy pats himself on the back for making mike evans his my guy last year and it was a really good call. But he refuses to ever mention even once how allen Robinson was his my guy the year before lmao ridley is closer to Robinson moving teams with decent sized contract to mike evans
@@NobleVagabond2552 That’s a popular viewpoint, and I get it. I hate the Steelers so my opinion on their QB situation is purely intellectual. I don’t see the upside in Newton at this point in his career, both the Seahawks and Broncos were happy to move on from him and I don’t trust him as a field general. I don’t think Fields was surrounded by much in Chicago and I don’t trust the Bears organization to handle QBs correctly. I just think Fields has more upside with a Steelers organization that I respect grudgingly.
Ridley is going to be good because hes NOT the clear #1, hopkins could be the 1 who will take top CB coverage (hopefully). Just like when Ridley thrived with Julio, perhaps this could happen.
I love RBs in the NFL I'm excited about my Ravens having Henry. That being said; you're going to on average have better performance / $ with a RB on a rookie deal. RBs start to decline at about 28. Something needs to change to get them paid
Elijah Moore - I raise you devante parker. HE is legit the worst WR with a ton of targets in history. Pretty sure 4 seasons in a row he's been dead last in separation
Hopkins game has never been as an explosive playmaker but he is a dog hard nosed player that just knows how to play football while Ridley is just the new flashy thing give Hopkins time to get report with Levi’s.
My disappointment was immeasurable and my day was ruined for the 2 seconds I thought we wont see Andy getting revenge this season for what happened last season!
Terry has never had an elite season and we simply don’t know what Chubb will be like back from injury, his second devastating injury to the same knee. Even if he’s mostly back to his old self eventually will that even happen this year? How many games will he play, maybe he’ll only be in a committee now. You won that trade easily, baring a hall of fame post injury comeback from Cubbb
I have Calvin Ridley on several dynasty teams & I've tried to trade him away since last season, no takers. No one wants him. Just like Amari Cooper - he might as well be covered in dung, lol. So if he does breakout, I guess I'm sitting pretty; however, I'm not holding my breath (well, maybe I am bc of the smell)
George Pickens IS Chargers version Vincent Jackson -60 catch 1000 yards disappear for 6+ games. Good luck with that, Mike & Andy. I'd have gone Kirk too. Burton believer too. Geaux Joe & STAY HEALTHY!
Calvin Ridley is on a worse team, with a worse QB with DHop. There’s no chance he’s performing better than he did with the Jags. Your reasoning of he got paid big time money makes no sense since he got paid on the Jags and couldn’t do WR1 numbers. Hes gonna finish at best 15 but could easily be 30. He’s a best ball guy for sure, but he’s not worth it in the first 7 rounds

Finally a solid block of Wicks analysis that I can cling to and deify for the next 2 months
I want to expect good things from Wicks. I just can’t figure out the Packers receivers, it’s like trying to divide 324,609,373 by 17 in my head.
@@tmartin8888 Would I draft Wicks in redraft? Probably not, until I see the production. But having him as my 8th wr in dynasty? Sign me up
What about the unused tight end from Atlanta
Yeah I’m getting a lot of Pacheco as RB2 and Ridley as WR4 in mocks. For Pacheco: top tier offense with a workhorse RB and unsettled receiving corps. For Ridley: Callahan and the Titans signed him to be Ja’marr Chase.

@@DK-hg5sy Most impressive.

You’re right about one thing with the Titans. It’s not Ridley, it’s Hopkins you want.
Honestly I’ve listened to these guys for years and have systematically dismissed Andy’s advice and have been burnt. This year he’s my guy
Andy’s great, been following his advice since the early Fantasy Focus days. Fantaseeeeee, fantasy fo-cus 🎼 🎶 🎵
@@tmartin8888I feel like Andy is probably the best of the three but I love ‘em all
Andy is the best of all 3 in terms of consistency, Jason is the best on taking your shot on a preseason stud.
Jason is the best out of the trio and Mike is the Mike Williams of the group Jason is right and usually more accurate.
@@carlherbranson9536 you think Jason is more accurate than Andy? All I can think of is Andy played Devante Adams championship week and won lol i would have benched him. Also, mike evans was his my guy last season. He seems wise...

Oh my God, the 55 interruption was priceless
Mike! I'm so glad you're coming around to Sam Darnold! I have him as QB 18. This year's sleeper qb of the year!
My projections put him much higher, but that's best case scenario: 4,200 passing, 28 tds, 250 rushing and 6 rushing tds
Love Burton but there’s not enough catches for Burton after Chase and Higgins get theirs. Higgins is in a contract year and I expect Burton/Gesicki/Iosevas/Chase Brown to split third receiving option catches. Give me Cooks if I’m banking on injury for WR5.
Hope you all enjoyed your week. It was torture without yall

I like the Calvin Ridley take
My sleeper is DeMario "Pop" Douglas. Clearly the WR1 for New England with some talent.
Ridley was my wr3 in a league and was a stud. Re-draft also had tyreek and aiyuk so just go to fight through the bad games

Best thing for the ears on the way to work! Thank you ballers ❤️
Pickens on an Arthur Smith offensive...no thanks
Yeah, they (and most if the industry) have a hard on for Ridley.
The No Doubt "Coach speak, I know what you're saying" should totally be a segment 😅
I like the Burton suggestion but don't be so fast as to completely and totally ignore Andre Iosivas. The team seemed to like him last year as well.

Fields will start in Pittsburgh at some point this season. 200 of Pickens’ 1100 yards came against a Bengals secondary that had major issues.
Unless Russ gets hurt I think Fields will only see a few plays a game package if not just sit for entire games at a time
Can’t take away big games from a big game player. Especially with how putrid the QBs were. They didn’t even have decent college level QB play

Good morning gang!

wow Jason's high on Ridley
I find it insane how it’s looked down upon when you’re a RB and you’re 26! 26!!!! That’s young! It’s crazy how they value RBs
I love RBs in the NFL I'm excited about my Ravens having Henry.
That being said; you're going to on average have better performance / $ with a RB on a rookie deal. RBs start to decline at about 28.
Something needs to change to get them paid
The numbers don't lie, production decreases. Unless you're a HOFer
George Pickens knows 1 route the fly route if he don’t become a more polished route runner he will be like mike Williams super hit or miss
