"One day off the last night's game. Who would you bet on the go further this season? The rams are the forty-niners. I'm going to say the forty-niners. Recency bias? Yes. Admitted? Yes. I guess the thing that concerns me the most is with the rams, the offense is really predictable. And it doesn't feel like you got to have a little bit of variation there, and they didn't have that last night. The offensive line, really the offense in general. Matthew Stafford getting hit that many times, and you got Cooper Cup, but you know they had a lot of catches, but he didn't do any damage to you. 19 targets. 8 yards a catch, but if you're keeping him in front of you and you don't have anybody who's going to beat you deep, and if you're holding out hope for OBJ to go, that'll answer all of our problems. You know, I love the defense. Aaron, did you I'm watching in the first quarter? And Troy Aikman's just lauding Aaron Donald and rightfully so. I'm watching it and he's like, okay, Aaron Donald, you know, always double team. Nobody got double team more. And then they show a play with alignment forgot to block Aaron Donald. And I thought, this would be in a movie where you go, we hate our quarterback. We're going to let the best defensive player come in and smash it. You couldn't have done it any worse than what they did last night on that one play. But Aaron Donald made a lot of plays early. That's not enough. And then you start to look at the offense and you go, it seems bland, and this Sean mcvay loves his offense. It seems bland right now. And I think, are you going to get a running game? How good is your running game going to be? And everybody knows Cooper cubs getting it and granted, he's great, and he can still get those catches, but these are home runs that you have to get occasionally here. And the niners have a home run threat in deebo Samuel.

"Live from the rich eisen show studio in Los Angeles. I don't think there's much of a conversation. It was real short. He said, cool, I think that's great. The rich eisen show earlier on the show. Bucks running back, Leonard fournette. Rams wide receiver, Cooper cub, 6 time Pro Bowl, defensive tackle, Gerald McCoy. Still to come. Actor and comedian, Kevin Hart and now. It's her rich eyes. Yes, it is. Our number three of the rich eisen show on the air here on our YouTube stream taking you to a dynamite labor day weekend full of college football from Notre-Dame at Ohio State, Oregon at Georgia, which basically it is, and then you've got also a tremendous weekend of potential U.S. open action involving Serena Williams on top of all of that. I know, right. If you're in the Boston area and you want to watch Liv golf, you watch Cameron Smith, go at it, right? You just eat off. Did he really? Yeah. I started following the wiv just because I was curious. How does one follow that? Just at with golf on Twitter. Okay. But the event is on YouTube right now. Right. So anyway, how many viewers do they have? Would you want to look at that? Sure. I mean, I'm locked into our YouTube page. No, I greatly appreciate that. And I have greatly appreciate people watching that, watching us here before we move to Roku later on this month. When I'm just curious, because they have, if I'm not mistaken, half of the last half of the field has got a major championship in their trophy case. A bunch too, yeah, they have about 40,000 right now. All right, that's a very healthy number. For YouTube, for sure. And I don't know. I mean, and it just shows you too about how in this football loving nation. If Cameron Smith left for the live tour, back in July. That's all we would have been talking about for 24, 48 hours on this program. The best player arguably on the PGA Tour just left the PGA Tour and he joined a live. And we didn't talk about it yesterday because we were still so deep in the Jimmy Garoppolo Trey Lance of it all. And that is, you know, now that the players and the PGA Tour just had its big finale last week, September is, I guess, they'll live month, right? Yeah, there's a few events this year, you know, the president's cup is going on at the end of this month and that's going to be exciting. But just, you know, some of these live guys, I haven't even thought about them. Like Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka even Phil Phil talked to Sports Illustrated yesterday and article came out. Haven't even thought about those guys in months. 'cause you're a PGA Tour fan and you are interested in what was going on with Rory. And the FedExCup. And a lot of these guys are just going to kind of disappear off the map in a way. With the casual golfing. Unless the live tour gets a television deal that's right in front of you. True. But, you know, it's kind of a you got to go through several clicks to find this even on YouTube. So it's not like it's right there where I know that golf channel's two 18 on DirecTV I can quick go to it. The next thing I want to hear about as well. I'm curious is who gets booted off the live tour when somebody like Cameron Smith comes on it. Because again, it's not like the PGA Tour where it's a hundred person field, right? It's a limited field. That's the whole point. That's the whole point of it. Right. Shotgun start limited field 54 holes. We have 12 teams. It's team golf. That's only 48 guys per event. And now they have well over that number. So where do those guys go? Because it's not the PGA Tour. No, and they can't plan the DP world tour, so they're kind of stuck playing on the Asian tour right now. To make money for themselves. But they're growing the game of golf. I guess on the agent tour, they're growing the game of golf. Balmer. Meanwhile, college football. I mean, honestly, the live tour is going up against a huge weekend of college football that began last night. With Penn State and Purdue and the backyard brawl in Pittsburgh between Pitt and West Virginia and today everyone's talking about a pick 6 and a puke 6. And Neil brown's choice to punt. The West Virginia's coach choice to punt from his own 48 fourth and one with 5 minutes and change to go and it pinned pit inside their own ten and guess what happened, a stupid ass targeting call happened. So we're off and running. We're seeing college football rivalry games and they're tight and it's intense and we're seeing crazy stuff happen and the games take four and a half hours and nobody cares if an NFL game took four and a half hours. People would be flipping out and targeting happens. Did you see this play? Christopher? Did you see the targeting call? There were two in the second and 8. Targeting is called first down for Pittsburgh and they marched down the field. Come on, man. Yeah, I noticed. The refereeing is already. A march downfield. Terrible. And wind up tying the game and then West Virginia gets the ball back. Ball goes straight through a wide open receiver's hands into a pick 6 game over. I'm telling you, man, coaches, when you've got an opportunity for sure, just go for it, keep it. Man, I would do that a hundred times out of a hundred. And I know that second guessing, because crazy stuff can happen, targeting call, 92 yard drives, pick 6 the other way when you get the ball back. College football's back and live tour. Okay, they're in Boston, not great. Wonderful. I don't know, man. Yeah, I mean, I'm not going to watch any of it this week. I can't wait to watch in the limited time I have as I survive in advance of three day weekend with three kids. It's all college football. You know, that's it. I'm going to sneak in a little bit of Michigan. I might sneak in a little tennis, maybe. If I have some time, but we're going to be traveling. And then I'm sneaking into pickleball. Nice. Myself. Me. I'll be watching. Thank you. You were watching my pickleball. The castle tomorrow at 9 in the morning, WWE. Is that what you're doing? Yeah. So

"Last year, Cooper Cup, Triple Crown, a receivers, gets one vote. Are we past the days when a non quarterback could win the NFL MVP? Well, apparently, I mean, you look at those two things because TD in 1998 Terrell Davis was the NFL MVP because he rushed for 2000 yards, right? And that should account for something. And the crazy thing about the way the league is structured now is every rule is bent toward the quarterback having great success and being available. And you know the whole league is has been manufactured that way. So those guys can thrive. Is that so that they can just play as long as possible, and we can just kind of milk every little bit of shore. Star power out of there. And because the rest of us, I mean, let's face it. Mine is a few kind of star receivers or star running back like Derek Henry, most of us are pretty anonymous, right? We put on our helmet and nobody really knows who we are unless we screw something up really bad. Right. So that's the only recognition you get. And so yeah, that part of that is, how are we going to protect these guys, these guys are the guys that we market there, the guys that become the franchises, they're the guys that we're paying fully guarantee coming. Come on, deshaun Watson. You're getting a 200 and 30 $60 million fully guaranteed contract for a dude that's got all kinds of legal issues hanging over his head. So yeah, that's just kind of the way it's become and it really Nate between you and me. It drives me crazy. Because that to me is not that to me is not football. A quarterback I understand the value I understand the importance I understand all those things. But let's reward the great football player. Same thing that goes on in college football with the Heisman. Some of the things that have happened with the Heisman to me are insane. Terrell suggs, his junior, Arizona state, has 24 sacks. In PAC ten, he doesn't even get invited to New York. He's not even a finalist in the Heisman. You get 24 sacks in a season. You know, a bunch of fumbles costs your fumbles. His stat line is absolutely insane. And you don't even get invited. So those things. I look at that stuff and then I just go, okay, whatever. That's the way you guys want to play it. That's fine, but I just don't put a lot of merit behind it anymore. It just doesn't hold the same way. You mentioned it with Cooper Cup. I mean, what he did and the intelligence level. And I'll tell you this as you'll respect this as a receiver. When Matt Stafford came to Los Angeles last year, you know, he came in the off season, so he's got a whole new offense that he's got to assimilate and learn. You know, who taught him who sat down with him, who sat in film with him every day, was Cooper Cup, because Cooper Cup is like a quarterback that plays wide receiver. The guy is, the guy's a brilliant football player. And the things that they do with him is probably unique to the position. He does things that no other receiver in the league really has asked to do. And so it's pretty amazing that that guy gets what one vote for MVP. One vote, that's it. And then he does dirty work too. He'll come down, he'll shift he'll motion down. Right next to the tackle and block a defensive end. Yeah. Or to be on the front side of the front side of his wide zone. By the way, one of the things that that's brilliant about the way they orchestrated is they've been under Sean mcvay kind of a three wides personnel zebra or 11% or whatever you want to call it, right? And so they really run all their 12 personnel plays out of 11 and Cooper cubs actually to F tight end. And so even though they're in 11 personnel, you're always getting a favorable defensive matchup because you got three wide receivers on the football field, but they're really secretly saying, hey, we're going to run all our 12 personnel plays. So Cooper, you're actually the backup tight end. And so they get, they get those nickel fronts, those dime fronts, and they're really just trying to run the ball out of that stuff because he blocks as well as any, as well as any secondary tight end in the league. So that's one of their advantages that they have as an offense that nobody else really can do. Well, Andrew mason's got a cool article up. It's part of his ask mace, mailbag, and one of the questions is about that. Will there ever be a non QB NFL MVP again? I suggest you guys go check that out. Denver fan dot com. But I was talking about Russell Wilson and the odds that he will be NFL's MVP. Aaron Rodgers obviously back to back MVP right now, the leader in the Clubhouse is Josh Allen at plus 700. We got Patrick Mahomes next plus 800. Aaron Rodgers plus 900, Tom Brady, also plus 900, Justin Herbert, plus 1100. Joe burrow 1300 dak Prescott 1400 mass Stafford 1500 and then our boy Russell Wilson tied with Matt Stafford plus 1500. What's gotta go right for Russell Wilson to be the NFL's MVP. You know, I think the biggest thing for Russ, just my opinion, obviously obviously you gotta be a balanced offense, and you gotta be all that stuff. But to me, you gotta rust has got to mature and I said that's just feels like a dirty word. Like, you know what I mean? It feels like I'm beaten, rushed down. But I just think that Russ has got to do a better job of managing a football game. And what I mean by that is there are so many times that Russ, and this was a frustration. I know they had in Seattle. Frustration they have with Russell was we've designed the offense and you know how this works. You know, in three step drop, you got your first read, you know you got a little high low combo or whatever and you got a little hitch and it's wide open. Get it to him. Yeah. And make it second down in 6, right, right? And let's stay in front of the chains. And Russ has got this propensity to say, now let me pull that down and see if there's something better. And there are things that drew lock in him. Let me see if there's, but he'll scramble around, he'll make those plays. And so more often than not, it doesn't hurt him. But unfortunately for him, there's a game or two that happened where those decisions really end up hurting him. The other thing is, is you could probably go back and trace all the sacks given up by the Seattle Seahawks and everybody blames the offensive line. Everybody blames, they protection issues and the running backs and stuff. And I bet you 30, 35% of them, I bet you have blame as a sign, which it always is, I bet you that staff would assign most of that blame or 30% of that blame to wrestle. Like, dude, throw it. Don't hold it. Don't scramble around, don't do this. But it's hard to it's hard to groom that out of you because you do make so many big plays. Yeah. So I think for him, he's just going to have to be more consistent in a better overall decision maker. To actually get into that conversation. Question is, does he know that? Or is he going to actually address that, you know? Or is he running away from Seattle so he doesn't have to address that kind of stuff? Well, we'll find

"Matthew Stafford never had a playoff win until this campaign now can he go win the Super Bowl. Stafford throws the fake back shoulder Cooper cubs got it. Matthew Stafford's done it again. They need to gain one to keep their hopes alive in Super Bowl 56. He flings it away up fourth down. Aaron Donald got there the greatest of all time on defense does it in the biggest moment of Super Bowl 56. A Lombardi trophy for Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Rams are world champion. The defending Super Bowl champs find out who they open their season against tonight. That's right. We'll tell you when we know all the biggest matchups tonight at 8 eastern on ESPN2. How about this rematch between Kansas City and the bills? Remember how that one ended last year? We'll find out when they play this year. Also, packers against the bucks, Rogers and Brady, when do they play, which week does it happen and win? Does Russ return to Seattle as a Bronco? It's a big day for the NFL. We can't wait. Welcome to NFL live everybody. Adam shepherd's here in person. That's when you know it's a really big day. We got Damien woody as well and then Robert proof for the third will be with us throughout the show. We're going to tell you later why Robert thinks the commanders could play for a Super Bowl in 2022, but first, with the full schedule released in just a few hours you guys, Robert, which game, do you most want to know about? Oh, Laura, for me, it's the first game of the year. Who are the Los Angeles Rams gonna be playing against? It's the nostalgia. It's all the excitement we've been waiting for this moment and who better than to start it off with than the defending Super Bowl champions. They've been quiet this off season. No drama with the quarterback. They just sit back watching everybody else makes strange picks and laugh about it. And collectly to themselves say at those picks, which stands for forget, right? But yeah, I can't wait to see that game. And enjoy all the NFL has to bring us. Yeah, that's a good one, rob, I'm going bills, cheese that epic matchup from lashes divisional round. We know that for the cheese there's no tyreek hill to school around. We've got to see what the Kansas City Chiefs look like on offense and I'll put a Buffalo Bills Josh Allen has been knocking on the door trying to get to the Super Bowl von Miller comes over from the law center Super Bowl champ Los Angeles Rams. Boy is this going to be another epic matchup? Damien, you want an epic matchup? How about Russell Wilson going back to Seattle in front of the 12th men? That'll be something when he goes back there as the quarterback of the Denver Broncos had so much success in Seattle and so much that franchise and now means an awful lot to the Denver Broncos franchise as they move forward with their new quarterback into the future. The Broncos at Seattle this year, that seems like a really appealing match up Laura. I've got my eye on when the Titans and eagles play. Remember the Titans decided they could not pay their star wide receiver AJ Brown. The eagles said, yeah, we'll pay them. I'm fascinated by this game. AJ Brown potentially torching the Titans secondary knows them well. En route to proving why they shouldn't have moved on from him. It wasn't a popular move among Tennessee fans either, so can't wait to see their response to seeing Brown again. And we will find out the full schedule tonight as we told you that news around some of the games has already been trickling out, including the announcement of chiefs at bucks. That's weak four on Sunday Night football, mahomes versus Brady for the 6th time. This one on October 2nd, 2022, both the chiefs and bucks have made some big moves this off season for Kansas City. They bolstered their defense in the draft with the additions of George Carlos and Trent mcduffie, but they also lost some key veterans this off season in tyron Matthew and tyreek hill. As for Tampa Bay, they have retooled their interior offensive line, added to their D line in the draft with Logan hall that they still have multiple key players that remain free agents, including Rob Gronkowski and in Dominican Sue, so Robert, both of these teams came up short in the playoffs last year, which team did better this off season to set themselves up for success. Oh, well, mister Tampa Bay Bucs, they did better this off season because they got the greatest of all time. The goat Tom Brady to come out of retirement, right? That wins the off season for you there alone. But they also added some more pieces, right? They have a lot of continuity, but they brought in Russell Gates to add to that wide receiver room with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. They solidified the interior offensive line drafted Luke gide to replace Ali marpat on his retirement. And then they brought in guys like Kate and the Titan from Washington and Logan hall the defensive end from Houston just in case Rob Gronkowski and Dominican Sue don't come back. So when you look at the bucks compared to the chiefs, the chiefs just had more changes go their way and they lost two massive pieces in tyron Matthew and also Tyree kill. They decided to replace those guys in bunches and we'll see if it works out. Yeah, Robert, I saw Gronk at the draft and were asking him if he was going to come back. And he mentioned that the addition of other Titans wouldn't affect whether or not he came back, but if Damien, what do you see? And what do you need to see from the chiefs to know that they've made the right changes this off season when you see them back on the field? Can the sum of the parts replace tyreek hill on offense, right? Because we know that Tyree hill is the most explosive offensive weapon that we have in the National Football League because he has one thing that you can not teach and that is lightning speed. So when you look at the Kansas City Chiefs now with the pieces that they acquired, whether it be sky more through the draft, you know, juju Smith Schuster Marquez scantling. All those pieces can they can those three guys amount to what tyreek hill brought to that Kansas City Chiefs offense. And let's not forget The Rookie wider secret sky more. Yeah. It's also going to be somebody who plays I think a significant role in Kansas City this season, but when you have a quarterback like that, he's always going to elevate the play of people around him. There are receivers who will have their career years with him playing and there'll be a lot more targets without tyreek hill. Somebody's got to get that football aside from Travis Kelce and we'll find out who soon enough. Yeah, we saw Travis Kelce at the draft two. He talked about their compliment of receivers. And I realize it sounds good right now. It's positive season, but he said he felt pretty comfortable with what they had. Robert, what do you think about that side of it? Yeah, I actually think the chiefs did a great job of not trying to replace tyreek hill with one guy. That's impossible. You heard what he talked about it. His speed, it's uncoachable. He is a very unique type of player and there's no one else like him in the league. So what you do, you replace him with multiple guys. We got to remember that last year when teams started playing these two high shell defenses against the chiefs to kind of shut down their big playability. There was constant conversation of how they needed a third and fourth wide receiver to kind of step up and be that guy for them. So what they do, they went and got three of them. They got juju Smith Schuster. They went and got marques valdes scanning and they drafted sky more. So I think that she's actually put themselves in a better position to be a more well rounded offense without tyreek hill being there. That's interesting. I mean, so many people talking about, oh, what are they going to be without Tyree kill? And Robert, you feel pretty good about it. I like that point. Let's get to the top stories around the league right now, Adam on a very busy day. Let's start with the number one overall pick from the draft. I under contract, Laura, the Jacksonville Jaguars have reached agreement with the number one overall pick, Trayvon walker, the standard four year rookie deal worth over $37 million fully guaranteed Trayvon walker hits a big and Jacksonville and Jacksonville of no training camp holdout whatsoever. Walker has an agreement with the Jaguars and we had a trade earlier today. The New England Patriots are trading their backup quarterback Jared's did them to the Las Vegas Raiders who know Jared's been well with Josh McDaniels. Hey coach, Dave ziegler, the GM. They are finalizing that trade. They'll be a swap of late round draft picks. So not significant compensation. And earlier today, the arapaho county.

"Did he transfer somewhere else? And then he ended up at like Arkansas state or something like that. Like, I don't even know where his last stop was. It was so obscure. I was watching like a Thursday night college football game. He was just there. You know? But it got to me. It got to such a place where it's like, man, sometimes you just better transfer it down. To the subdivision level and just like, you know, let me try to beat a guy at Montana state or something like that. That's exactly the same. If I may, I'll tell a story I've never told this story and I don't want to name a name here, but there's a guy who went from a high level college program to a mid tier FBS division war program to then division two college and the whole time I was telling this guy because people occasionally when they transfer kayak me to any advice. And I don't tell them where to go, but I'd help them weigh the options and I told this guy to look at eastern Washington. Eastern Washington is a school that they win a ton. They throw them all the time. I've got a lot of roots there. I know people that went to school they're Cooper Cup went there. My buddy Samson went there. There's an from eastern Washington, and you're going to win, you're going to have fun. There's no glamour. It's a small town, but if you were like only care about football and you want to win, have fun and develop a new NFL quarterback. That's an underrated location that nobody ever talks about that I just think that man, like, if you're a guy who if you truly only care about getting on the field and you're not sure whether or not you're going to get an opportunity east on Washington is a place that does not get enough looks from guys who are transferring. I'm like, man, I would go there. I'm glad you brought up eastern Washington and the FCS. I got two things. One, I went to young sound state, right? So I'm familiar with the FBS FCS and it's like one of the bigger conferences in the FCS. We talk about Missouri valley football and was it big sky and those conferences, the facilities at the better schools are up there with division one. So they're basically the same indoor facility all that stuff that I have that stuff there. I think people underrate that and kind of like, oh, it's division two or FCS, and they're like, you're playing in a high school thing. It's like it's a much more professional, but you know it's up there with the facilities that you think would happen. But you mentioned that you have roots out there. You're talking about Cooper Cup man. I don't know if you were close to eastern Washington when Cooper cut was on the team. I watched him live a ton. I know. There was a, was it a national semifinal matchup in eastern Washington's Youngstown state. In eastern Washington, I think Cooper cubs last year there. And that game ended with Youngstown state winning with the craziest catch I've ever seen in my life..

Aaron Donald got there the greatest of all time on defense does it in the biggest moment of Super Bowl 56. A Lombardi trophy for Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Rams are world champion. The ram Super Bowl parade is going on right now. It's already been a whole lot of fun. We'll bring you live pictures from that in the reaction that you need to hear plus. You will not believe what Aaron Donald said don't miss that. Welcome to NFL live. We got a whole good crew right here. Adam Schefter's with us for the hour booger McFarland keyshawn Johnson coming up a little later. We'll tell you why someone here thinks the dolphins still don't have the quarterback they need to lead him to a Super Bowl, despite hiring a new coach, but let's begin with the Super Bowl champs, the rams, as I said, they're parade currently going on. Let's get the confetti going here in the studio. We're partying with them. Why not? It's ram's house. So I'm told that they went down figueroa. He's gonna correct me here the LA expert probably. But look at them. The floats, they're ready to go. They're actually people were throwing some beverages their way, even and they were catching them. You see Whitworth, the cigar smoking of Matthew Stafford, and let's hear from the best moments of today's parade right now. Hey, here's what I know the late John Madden said that winning the Super Bowl was the highest of high. So you know what? Our players, our coaches, Stan, his family, every one of us in the organization who support them on that mission and everyone out there. You know what? We know what that highest high feels like today. So in honor of the shirt, F them picks will use them to go win more super bowls. But I can't say enough about this team. The resiliency, the middle toughness, Super Bowl chips. This will never ever get old. Give it up for those players right there, get it done. Are we kidding? We throw a touchdown to Cooper Cup, who makes the play? Give it up for group of cop. Ridiculous. The guys unbelievable. And then Aaron Donald comes out and makes a play two plays in a row, really? To get the job done for us. I didn't even know it was fort down. I feel like a bad player for that, but you know what? At the same time, I'm damn happy to be standing up here with you guys, celebrating this. Come on. You guys have been on believable. Unbelievable. All year. And you know what? We appreciate you. Sean mcvay just tapped me on the shoulder. He wanted to know if you were interested in running it back. Running it back. Running back, running back, running back, running back. Give it up for Aaron Donald. What a stunt. Everything. We built the super ten. We can bring the super team back while not running back. We could be world testing. I was like, you're entertainment. And by the way, keys loving this. You know, there weren't a lot of shirts being worn at that party. It's like when we have an NFL live party, we don't wear shirts either. Adam, I want to start with you on what we just heard from Aaron Donald there because rumors about him potentially considering retirement didn't seem like a guy who's going to retire right there, did he? Yeah, Laura, much to the disappointment of all the teams in the NFC west. He did not sound like a player who's ready to retire at this point in time. And he is due a contract of $14 million next season, which is a good salary, but not a salary in line for arguably the best defensive player in all of football. And so I think what the rams are hoping here is that some time will pass Aaron Donald's body will begin to feel better. They will come to him with an incentivized newly reworked contract and by the time he's got some time off and he sees the value of the new contract that that will be enough to bring him back, but he certainly sounded today like a man who was interested in playing another year and I can tell you that that sound bite did not go over well in the offices of the other NFC west teams. Everyone's like, no, we thought this guy might be done. So GM lest need referred to this. He's wearing a shirt today that essentially says screw them picks. Are the rams Adam set up to run it back with once again no first round picks. How do they do it? Well, it's pretty simple, Laura, again, they don't have high picks, but they've got as many picks in the mid to late rounds as any other team and over the last few years, they haven't had fewer picks or less picks than any other team out there, but it's the topics that get the attention. They've opted to trade their topics for players like Matthew Stafford and von Miller and you see how that's worked out. It's worked out quite well. They're holding a parade in Los Angeles today. And there's a chance that they can manipulate the draft even further this April to get back more fixed. I don't think they're worried about not having picks and they've been very creative when it comes to the salary cap and finding ways to fit in what they need to. And they always have that secret recipe in their pocket they can restructure Matthew Stafford's contract and free up more money if that's what they need to do. It's something that they've waited to do and it's something that they could unfurl this all season. So they've got tricks up their sleeve and they're not going to just pass along peacefully going into next season. In Adams completely right right there. Laura, they can manipulate the salary cap. However, they want to because they have an owner who is flush with cash and all they're going to do is move things around. Kick the can down the road, pay for it later. And if you need to convert things into signing bonuses, that's simple and plain to do when you look at some of their free agents so to speak, von Miller's on the backside of his career. He's not going to command 15, $20 million, so that's an easy deal. OBJ is coming off what we most of us perceive as an ACL injury. Most likely they will re sign him because he's done a terrific job for him. Sony Michelle, so on and so on. And if you think about some of the higher price guys, like you mentioned in Matthew Stafford, you go to your quarterback, you're gonna probably extend him at some point in time anyway, you give him an extension. You give him new money up front. Everything is all good. You run it back. You know, it's really hard to be serious with some analysis here. After you see less need shirt that says after pigs, you see Aaron Donald with no shirt on, you see liquored up Matthew Stafford and we're supposed to come up with some great analysis right here. He's serious. Do you remember our parade key? I just marvel at that. And what they're doing, Laura. Hey. I mean, we was that wasted were we? Yeah, I mean, think about this key and at least we kept our clothes on. They're shirtless going down LA and they're drinking ace of spades and Laura's coming to me asking me about what they're going to do.

"Matthew Stafford never had a playoff win until this campaign now can he go win the Super Bowl. Stafford throws the fate back shoulder Cooper cubs got it. Matthew Stafford's done it again. They need to gain one to keep their hopes alive and Super Bowl 56. He flings it away up north down. Aaron Donald got there the greatest of all time on defense does it in the biggest moment of Super Bowl 56. A Lombardi trophy for Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Rams are world champion. Welcome to NFL live presented by Windows 11 and Intel. We'll hear more from you, right? But Marcus, what did you see on that final drive? Matt Stafford delivery. And brother, messed up for delivery. I was going to come in here and make you mad, 'cause he did throw two interceptions. But we gonna forget about it. They won the Super Bowl. Yeah. But here's the deal. That is why Sean mcvay brought Matthew. That last drive to get a touchdown was the reason why I show mcvay traded Jared Goff to get Matthew Stafford because I needed a guy to overcome when I'm not on my game. And let me tell all of America. Sean mcvay was not on this game. In this Super Bowl. But Matthew Stafford delivered Matthew Stafford experience showed up his arms straight shoulder, ball placement showed up, but more importantly, you had ten other guys in the huddle that said, this guy can lead us to a touchdown. Yeah. And so everybody level increases. Everybody job heightens because yes, if we do our job, our quarterback will get us there. And y'all know I said on this show a long time, a year ago, two years ago and I said, man, I just I do not trust Jared Goff. He a liar. I trusted Matthew Stafford in that situation. Even after two interceptions, I still felt confident that he would make enough plays in order to give his team a chance to win it. I think two things stood out for me throughout the game that allowed that drive to happen. I thought he was phenomenal with his feet. Specifically early against Lou Anna rumo, their defensive coordinator for Cincinnati's. The Bengals is a set that he gave them, and then really good job using his eyes. Look at him, just climb the pocket on second 11, don't force the football. Go get 7 yards in a scramble. Dude, this is the getting to number 5 in the progression to Cooper Cup on third and four, just watch his feet bounce, balance pounds. Look how quickly he's getting through that. I'm telling you, this is a different guy than when I played with him 6, 7 years ago, his feet, his feet, the reset, and then his eyes watch this angle. Hold, hold, hold and then come back all the way holding that safety jet, Jesse Bates to find Cooper Cup. And I think the thing is when you do that when Matthew does that, he listens to his feet, and then he uses his eyes great. Then he plays really smart. You know, I know he threw the two interceptions, but I would push back and say, there wasn't there was not a single throw that was careless. That was reckless. It was like an armpit. Right, he's trying to make the fit the ball. Right. So, you know, that was really impressive to watch. And he doesn't get the opportunity in the game to go on that game winning drive. If he doesn't do those two things throughout the majority of it. What struck me about the game winning drive in particular is something that markers said, which was McVeigh to not have a very good game. And that drive in particular, it wasn't Sean mcvay using the joystick, manipulating the quarterback getting those wide open play action throws. We're so used to. It was talent. Yes. It was the quarterback making special throws and then a special wide receiver getting open and the play calling really didn't have that much of a big deal to do with any of it. The 22 yard throw, do people come. I just can not stop watching this throat. You know, for a long time with Matthew Stafford, he would make throws similar to this in Detroit, these kind of no look trek passes and what would happen was the videos would come out and Lions fans would say, well, if this was Patrick Mahomes, it would be on SportsCenter. Well, the problem was they were in meaningless games. In the most meaningful game at the most meaningful point at the pivotal moment in Matthew Stafford's career, he delivered. He looked off the safety, held him there, looked at Clinton or pardon Hopkins, and then he threw one of the most beautiful past I've ever seen in my life. I honestly can not get over how you do. You know what was super impressive about him even with the two interceptions. And I actually retweeted, I was like, I'm not that mad at the first interception. You could tell that Matthew Stafford came into this game saying, I'm going to be measured. I'm going to be patient. And I'm going to let things come to me. And he could have gotten lost in the Super Bowl thing. And on that drive in particular with the Bengals DBs were playing off patiently working his way down. You know, how much though of the trust and Cooper cut allows him to be patient at times. And then take those risks when he needs to. But reps and reps and reps of all the off season together and believing you're going to be where you're supposed to be. And I also think this. And we mentioned this a little bit throughout the season. Matthew had to transition a little bit from I'm in Detroit, we stink. I've got to play hero ball and try to make the crazy throws to I'm on the rams. I got a great team around me. I don't have to force the issue. And then we saw in the last month when they needed him to play big time ball. He was able to do it. But I think it was that transition from him to believing. I don't have to make all these crazy throws all the time. You know, the other thing too that has been prevalent in his career is that Matthew Stafford doesn't play well in the biggest game. So I think he shattered that. Significantly, too. A little bit more on it. Yeah, let's go to this. He led the NFL with an 89 and a half to VR in the fourth quarter of one. The season. That's insane. Join 2007 Eli Manning is the only quarterbacks to lead three game winning drives in a single postseason. So the Super Bowl win caps off an incredible postseason run for Stafford. That may not even be the best way to say it where you can't come up with enough adjectives to describe what he's done. How does this change the narrative Dan first Stafford's career? I think he's a lot Hall of Famer. He's a lock Hall of Famer and he's a Super Bowl champion. And I think he's been called a lot of things by a lot of people. You have to call him a Super Bowl champion and you have to call him the Hall of Famer now. And I would put into context of this four game run, I would say it's one of the, if not the most clutch, stretch performances, we've ever seen from a quarterback. You just mentioned it three straight game winning drives led by the quarterback that hasn't been done. I mean, when they need him to make the biggest plays on the biggest stages, he did it week after week after week, and I think that to get in the Hall of Fame and Michael Irvin said this this morning, you gotta have great stats and you gotta have moments. He's gonna be top 7 in everything when he gets done. And now he's got one of the greatest postseason performance stretches we've ever seen. I think two man, what I was gonna talk about is even being measured in that game. We ain't seen there are Henderson all season. And Matt was like, oh, you got to match up? Yeah. That's where I'm going. Right. Van Jefferson. Same thing. When they lost OBJ, you could see this offense kind of go flat. And it was Matt Stafford and that final drive saying I am the best guy on the field with the ball of my head. Yesterday he did all that without Odell Beckham junior, Robert Woods and Tyler higbee. Yeah. But I was gonna say an in and also it's an interesting contrast to what happened in Green Bay, where Aaron Rodgers was so locked in on devonte Adams didn't really target any other wide receivers, some open guys, staffer didn't miss those open targets you mentioned OBJ, it's a moment that really makes you sick from yesterday's game. No don't Beckham junior goes down with the non contact knee injury, and it was that same knee where he tore his ACL back in 2020. So Nina, what do you make of that news? Well, it's absolutely brutal. I mean, it's thrill for OBJ to get a Super Bowl ring, but obviously headed into free agency. If he was completely healthy, you'd have to think.

"Much as that feeling of wondering how good you are and and is your process correct. You know none of a couple of days out. It's tuesday noon. It's kind of a silly thought right like the macro thoughts. Like if you played cooper cub you want if you didn't you got curbstone so i try not to let my head go to the more macro existential thoughts and i know many of you are probably waiting for the excuses. The whining why it was just too close to the to. The games are getting tougher. The raft swam y. You know not here not for me you know. I played like shit on sunday. And i gotta shitty result. That's it you know. Excuses and rationalizations are for the week. I really really believe that. If we're playing the game we have to take hundred percent personal responsibility for the results actually made it worse. So i'm watching the ravens chiefs game on sunday night. Just trying to figure out what in the fuck just happened to me on the main slate and clydes fumbles do just can't even produce as primary back in patrick mahomes offense. It's wild but whatever so. I decided to tweet about i. Running backs really. Didn't think it was a big deal. I was only trying to point out that even when they hit. When you hit someone really good like saquon barkley or you know ezekiel elliott. You know even if it's at running back even if they hit it's a bad pick like their wins over replacement their career length their injury rate. It's just so bad to take one around one. That doesn't even factor. What can happen when you take rashad penny or sony michelle or clyde awards layer or josh jacobs or whatever like back just doesn't matter that much you know. And i know that wide receivers and quarterbacks and linemen bust all the time also but when you hit one you have a huge part of a winning team again running back to doesn't matter that much like saquon. Great if he had stayed healthy. Are the giants a good team. Tony pollard a fourth round. Pick on a rookie. Contract is better than ezekiel elliott. Who you had to give a six year ninety million dollar contract to you know. Maybe you can make a case that derrick henry is worth it he's such a freak out liar but i still don't think that tennessee can win super bowl with him in today's nfl. But anyways. i don't even want to get into all that i really. Don't you know so. I send that tweet about first round. Running backs really didn't think much of it and next thing i know like fan twitter or nfl twitter or whatever the hell this is hell. Scape is is just bombarding me like like personal insults like they just have no concept of running back value or the point. I was trying to me. So i couldn't even open twitter to look at anything which is probably for the best just crazy man. Anyways for cash defied the age model. And i paid the price. I went with manny sanders. Thirty four year old man. He sanders. In order. To get up from cooper cup to amari cooper just egregious and you know i will note them my fears onto marchesi and obviously the tv too is qamar chasing supercup. I think my fears on chason. The spot were warranted. Dude only saw four targets for really bad thirteen percent target share on a day. Joe borough only three thirty times as they continue to him back in. I think week to week. It's going to be hard to pick out. Who out of marches t higgins. Tyler boyd will be best. But yeah i mean even so you know. You're marceca's ceiling at five k. Is obviously incompatible to what thirty four year old manny sanders can do. So yeah again. That was a big decision. Chase covers manny annemari. I blew it. You know and the thing. That's sick is we had this monster projection on cooper cup early in the week monster and even as we muted it immediate immediate. It was still in our optimal still ridiculous. And that should have been assigned to me as we're tournaments. Yes so the whole idea of. Gp's is to capitalize on chaos in tournaments you. Yes we accept that one. Nfl game is such a tiny sample crazy crazy. Things are going to happen. How can we capitalize on that. The one obvious thing was dallas and the chargers could go sideways. Didn't think it was likely obviously though. Could get very contrarian very quickly and leave a huge part of the field if dallas and the chargers underperforming and. That's exactly what happened. And i think i did a good job of that especially with lights off after the one pm's one. Pm games in other words. I had six. Gdp teams this week. None had cooper cup. So i was so far behind there. At one o'clock cooper cop had thirty nine point eight draftkings points at twenty plus percent ownership. You know it was just really tough to play any dallas charges stuff at four and that was really the theme of the week if you were in trouble after the one pm games. What did you do at four. Pm leoni and the tilt space guys swapped onto cuyler rondell. Osborne gronk ended up getting fourth in the duke. Or something like that. You know some people swapped onto derrick henry and got a fifty ball. Russ lock it was a good swap. Narigc game scores. That seattle tennessee game was our number one game. In the game. Scores on draftkings lists goes on so again capitalize on chaos name of the game and tournaments not trying to figure out the exact place and i did not do a great job with that i then swap onto derrick henry. I stopped onto keiler a couple of times but with andrea hopkins. Who was ten percent. I stopped onto tannehill. Julio but had metcalfe over lock it. I swapped onto the viking stuff. But no osborne in other words i think i just didn't get weird enough given the situation and given the spot honestly though men. I really can't talk about this slate anymore. It's depressing me if you play tournaments and you want to learn more..
Fantasy Focus Football

"Carlos high thirty two to thirteen edge in favor robinson was important to eighty seven percent of the running back. touches went j. rob's way so fourth straight but just the offense is bad. That didn't do anything. So i think until further notice james robinson is much more of a hoping for a score flex than the mid tier rb to that. We thought green a couple of things here is that the offense was bad last year and he was tremendous. The snap stuff is important. I kept saying that. Carlos is just going to be annoying to begin the season. I'm more hopeful. Now that maybe by the fourth or fifth game this could be much more. James robison shop. Let's keep things going here. Deebo samuel who yet again was awesome yesterday at six catches on eight targets for ninety three yards. Plus eight rushing yards to find. That must've smile to your face. It did did you know that. Deebo samuel is leading the nfl in receiving yards right now. Two hundred eighty two people were a little bit concerned. He did not make the injury list. But if you were watching that game you saw him looked like he was down and then being tended to on the sideline severe cramping in his quadriceps at the end of the day. Hot day round the nfl. Lot of cramping yesterday christian mccaffrey. The game briefly went to the locker room. There were several players That that we're dealing with but you can understand that fans of the forty niners organization are a little concerned. Anytime player is being tended to. So here's a thought here is by the way brandon. Our youth yesterday had one catch for six yards. He barely played again. George cadle had four catches for seventeen yards yesterday. Matthew let's talk about these. Threes is a package to for a three for one deal brandon. I you same analysis last week until further notice. He's absolutely unplayable. Those percent i have. I'm holding onto though i'm holding on because what happened. Last year was a fluke. He's a really talented guy. He was way too good. I'm gonna hold it. And maybe i'll be a week or month too late. Drop them. But i'm holding to other ways especially because again just not to make light of it but when you think about what's going on in the running back room. For the forty niners deebo samuel brandon yuka both guys that you can sort of manufactured touches for like they may like they may have to if ever there was a coach. That's creative enough to do it. It's kyle shanahan like they made their run game next week. Maybe a little bit of call us check a little bit of trenton cannon. Maybe carrying johnson's active but it's a lot of sweeps and and and motion stuff for deebo samuel and brandon. I you like just trying to manufacture touches like little little screen passes and swing outs for those guys. You mean like yeah no. I agree so to thought here on the other guys. Then george hill four catches seventeen yards. He's been pretty average through two games so far this season unfortunately for george cadle. He's an amazing player. He is the most complete. He's just a dominating blocker he so good. But you know that's part of the value for him is he's going to be an absolute just mahler in the running game for him. He's going to do a ton to impact. The opposing defenses but in fantasy. He's not going to be the same player that you get from. Travis kelsey darren waller the tight end spot every single week so my advice to you. If you drafted george kill is. I can't imagine which tight ends available in your league to go grab and replace them with you. Gotta ride the wave just rethink. I think it's more about a draft strategy for future. You miss kay. So i'm in this. I'm in the stephen smith league steven smith we did. We did a celebrity for stephen as world. We talk about it every week on a show every every thursday and stephen as world streaming on espn. Plus i'm a company man. Okay so in that league team league. I have george kill my tight end. Yeah i also grab rob gronkowski. I'll come even close right now. Hang on yet the last two weeks. I've started kiddle and i benched gronk. That has been a mistake two weeks in a row. What am i doing a week. Three gronk yep but you can't drink you can't trade killer right now obviously can't trade them. Who's so yeah you're playing rock and again it's it's they're going to be weeks. Where cronk does not have to touchdown catches and they're going to be weeks for cato. Looks like george kittle. They're going to be hard to predict. We tweak but you have fantasy as much as every week is a new week. Some of our analysis is predictive based off of what we saw the prior week. All right last one. Better game against philadelphia. And i i did say on fantasy now that i thought it would be a big mike evans game against atlanta didn't realize it was going to be another big game. He's ridiculous he's cranky. he's rocky com. We've got to keep moving through these though matthew. Deebo samuel kind of interesting question. Posed by damian is samuel. Sell high right now. I mean anyone to sell high depending what you get but do i think this production is somewhat flukey. I do not. I think he's a really talented player. And he's somebody that like this is his third year in the league and we expect better days ahead from george kettle. We expect better days ahead from berna you. But i don't necessarily think that those days will come at the expense of deebo samuel. I think he is still going to be a focal point of this offense. He's too talented to just a couple of examples. Okay yeah couple. Examples here offer me is offering samuel mcmeel robert woods rather have depot. Okay robbie anderson depot. Those are just two of many examples of players that were drafted. Well ahead of deebo samuel this year that again. If you feel like two weeks in the order should have been reversed feel as close. I mean woods played a lot of snaps last. I mean just cooper cubs fan. So my little cooper has been so ridiculous last two weeks but i was. I was comforted by how much how many snaps and routes robert woods played yesterday. If if he was not her just just again. Turner established some if you were not hurt. Deebo samuel for deontay johnson. I'd rather data johnson okay. It's just just just sort of perspective there. Let's keep things moving though another. I'd i'd rather dj more than than deebo samuel. Like i mean you know there's pervert. Dj okay got it. That's that's good sort of it's good to establish a base news. I think i would.

"So i didn't do that. One of the things that i was thinking about doing is so i took joe mix and The conversations that i was having my friends they weren't a part of the draft. They were telling me you should have got t. n. now. That was something that i did. Think about because i in the in the fifth round the fifth round you know in the fifth round sorry I obviously had the last pick in the fifth round but each looked like he was gonna fall to me. So i ended up with dobbins and mixing but unfortunately et got taken three picks before me so. I was not able to do that. But that could have been a good trio running backs that i have got Because when i probably would've did was drafted. And then i probably would have instead of getting rogers. I probably would have drafted Guru or klay pool or something like that Well actually now capable got taken In the in the the end of the sixth round. sorry. I probably wouldn't have gotten him one of the other things that i thought was just very interesting. Was there were a lot of trades throughout this draft. And you know we were in the third round and people are we talking about doing trades and stuff and asking me for doing trades. And i'm like this is ridiculous. I mean i listen. I i know it's part of it but i mean come on the third round like all this. This pick is up for grabs. This pick is up for grabs. I mean come on like i listen. I was fine with what i had. You know. I liked having the back toback pick. I'm like i am not trading out of that okay. I am keeping what i have. And i'm sticking with that and i ended up with a good team so you know again like i'm not going to say my teams the best because i don't wanna be like that because of my teams are being bad. Then i'm gonna look like You know like. I have no idea what i'm talking about. You know but i mean i. It's just the trading thing. I i thought it was a little too but it. It's whatever that's part of the it's part of the process but you know camakers. He was taken at pick. Five point nine. A right for me. And i think i forgot to mention this is also a this was also a This was a ten person league So i i think camakers i mean he got taken very early. My other dynasty draft to but that was also part of the reason for that is because the personnel draft him is not doesn't have the strongest football knowledge. But you know that's interesting because cam acres is going to be out the whole year and i think pro- you probably could have sat on it for a little bit and then ended up getting him later on but i don't know that's what they decided to do Maybe could have got a running back was actually playing and then maybe draft him just so you have him for next year but you don't even know if he's going to be playing next year you don't even know if he's going to be the same next year it was. It was interesting. I don't know why someone did that but they decided to do that. I like i said there was just too many twenty trades. I mean i just. I don i don't get it but i guess they just traded to trade whatever But you know. I mean yeah the the draft it was just it was a it was a mess. It was a mess but you know what got through it and you know i mean. Obviously the first round kind of went as expected. You know you know quarterback's probably could awaited on them for a little bit and of course there were some rookies and some young guys that i definitely wanted. But i couldn't get you know. But i mean that's really that's part of the part of the draft process. You know but you know i mean looking at these other teams. I mean there's really. I don't wanna say my team is the best i don't want you know. Come out and say that. Because i don't think my team is necessarily the best. I mean there are some good teams. I mean one team. They're trying to win right now. Okay they got lamar. They got dalvin. They got nagishi then. Got julio and michael thomas when he does eventually come back i mean. That's a really good receiving core you got mark andrews at the tight end spot. You got mile sanders. Who you know. You still don't know what the situation is going to be in philly with the You know if they're going to do running back by committee and stuff like that but that seems ready to win now that seems pretty good teams pretty good And then i'm going to say it's better than mine. I would say. I would say so as of right now Another team they got nick saban and gibson as or too tight to running back. Sorry then you got keenan. Allen cooper cub. Dj charcoal pits et n. Sautin justin fields as their quarterback. I mean that's that's pretty good team too. You know so. I mean i don't wanna see. My team is the best. I don't believe my team is the best But i do think my team is good. I think it's good enough that it's going to cause some problems for teams in during season. But i just. I was very again. I was just very surprised. At how late trae lance got taken. I mean in the fourteenth round. I just you know it's crazy and this team while actually say well actually no. They have four four tight ends on their team. Well i mean i three They got trautmann. Ingram gronk hearst. I mean that's not. It's not bad terms depth I mean minor arnold combat antonia and i kinda wanted to afford tight end. But you know i had to get a defense Well my last two picks were picked. And i didn't realize that because you know the draft was just it was just too long. I just wish it was not that long. I mean the fact that we were able to do our the other dynasty draft in two hours and it was thirty picks so six fewer rounds than the one. I just did. We will on two hours. This we re we did over span of a day and a half which was just. It was ridiculous. It was very ridiculous. I mean listen. We got the draft on I like my team. But it's just i mean. I went to a yankee game. And i was doing it during the yankee game. You know it was ridiculous and they even asked me. They're like You know do you want to be on auto pick. No i wanna to pick. Who i i wanna have who. I want to pick on my team. You know. i don't wanna be auto drafting. I mean it was the last couple rounds. I guess but you know. I i wanted to. Have you know a team that you know that was picked by me and not by you. Know the cpu you know. I mean the last two picks again sammy watkins shepherd but which is in bad and especially. Because they're the you know the last two picks i really was only going to get like a backup kicker or you know and and the backup defense you know so sound like i. I was mad that i ended up with these two players. But you know. I would've liked to have had you know who i you know. All my picks were who. I drafted not auto picked but i think it was more so just get the draft over with as opposed to you know anything else because that draft took way too long and you know where vice do not have an hour in between picks and make sure to set a time for you and whether you're doing your draft with make sure you set a time for a draft that you can all agree upon and you're all going to be there guaranteed because this was clearly not planned out that well because we had someone that was getting auto pact and we wait basically the whole hour and they gifted him derrick henry because he wanted derrick henry at two and after that it was just you know we don't really know so yeah it was. It was a mess. It was a mess of a draft But you know again. I like my team. And i feel like my team is going to cause problems. But you know we'll have to wait and see with that. I mean you know. Look at look around at the other teams in. I mean pretty much. Everyone has like an average of three four tight ends. I mean my one friend. Has tim tebow on his team. That was less pick You're probably gonna want to get rid of him because He just got caught by.

"Fixed. Thanks for sticking with me through the break. let's jump right. In to my best bets. For the twenty. Twenty one season wide. Receivers that i think are going to outperform their ranking or adp in fantasy football this year. Let's jump into two guys from the same team. I've lump them together. Here robert woods and cooper cup. These guys are ranked fifteen and twenty one according to espn and thirteenth and thirty second for cooper cub according to nfl dot com cooper cups. Really the one. I want to focus on but robert woods. I also see as a potential top ten guy with matthew stafford there. Now this offense could really click. I love matthew. Stafford him fantasy. And i think robert woods and cooper cobb end up being or end up with a little ceiling because he is under center so specifically supercup. I like him to crack the top twenty. He's outside that in both ranking systems. Right now so cooper cup. Don't forget about the guys from the rams. These two players are consistently good and fantasy. And i think you'll see that again one or both of them could be top ten top fifteen. By the end of the year and mcveigh's offense should click again with daryl henderson running the football and these guys with matthew stafford back there who is a much better playmaker than Golf ever will be ever was there. So just keep those guys higher up on your rankings They are pair of my best bets for the twenty twenty one season. The other guy one of the other guys. Excuse me that. I really liked the sears. Tyler lockett from seattle. I think the seattle seahawks saw last year. What their offense could be with. Russell wilson throwing the football more. I don't know if it's going to be to the extent that we saw early on last year. But he's going to throw the football a little bit more than he has in the past. And i liked tyler lockett to be a top twenty player right now is twenty sixth according to espn but he's eleventh according to nfl dot com. I don't see him that high personally. But i do see him. Being in the top twenty for sure. So take tyler lockett a little higher than some of the other receivers you the or that may be ranked right around his current ranking especially according to espn. The third guy that i like is odell beckham junior from the cleveland. Browns don't hate me. But i see him being better than his wide receiver. Thirty ranking according to espn and for some reason nfl dot com doesn't even have him ranked in their top fifty. So i'm really liking odell beckham junior to definitely be a top twenty five wide receiver. I think a top twenty wide receivers not out of the question. His talent is so immense. And it hasn't worked out so far in cleveland. but kevin's defence. Keesa different dude. He's different than kitchens was. He's a winner. He is a good coach. He's going to put him in a position to succeed. So jump on odell beckham junior. If he's working there in the middle round could end up being a huge steel somebody. That wouldn't surprise me. A bit in that offense if he became a top ten player again at the position so older beckham junior upside. Is there jump on it. And then my fourth best bets to outperform their ranking is elijah more from the jets the rookie. Yes the rookie. First round pick. I believe he was taken in the first round by the jets. This guy is lighting up in training camp from everything we're hearing. He is the ultimate route runner. He's gonna be. Open a lot and i think zack. Wilson's going to feed him. Rookies rookie or him. Being a rookie quarterback means he's going to be throwing more a lot in practice. A report is going to grow there. And i like elijah. More as a top fifty player. He's currently unranked according to espn and f. l. dot com so. Get more for your bench. In the late rounds. Let him marinate there. If you will for a little bit and see what he might become he could be a study as soon as this year and definitely if you are looking at dynasty leagues he is a player to watch for dynasty leagues Somebody that you will want to have on roster and to stash away for the future right. Those are my best bets. Those guys i think are going to play well in twenty twenty one better than they are currently ranked. Let's get into the bad bets section guys. I don't think are going to be ranked at the end of the year or i guess perform throughout the year as high as their ranking might indicate as we go into the draft. The first one for me is teri maclaurin from washington according to espn he is the ninth ranked wide receiver and according to nfl dot com. He's the twenty second ranked wide receiver probably somewhere in between that. I don't like him as a top wide receiver this year. I would say he's probably going to be closer to fifteen to twenty in that range. So i wouldn't be spending a top ten wide. Receiver money on terry maclaurin in my draft. This year ryan fitzpatrick at quarterback is an upgrade granted. But he's so inconsistent. I don't know about that offensive of system there. We don't really know much about it. We just haven't seen much out of it. So i'm fading him a little bit going into the season right now. He'll still be a good player. Definitely a solid wide receiver to potential for that wide receiver one. I don't know if i'd spend as much draft capital on him. As i would for some of the other guys in that top ten i would definitely go for an allen robinson or an aj brown way at well. Before i would go for a terry mcalorum the second guy on my list of bad. Bets is julio jones and yes a future hall of famer but in tennessee. They like to run. The football dare can re is public enemy number one for the rest of the league when you play the tennessee. Titans and second is aj brown. Julio jones is gonna fill that corey davis role probably a little bit. Better than corey davis. But he's an older player. And i just don't think wide receiver sixteen is where i would take him this year outside the mytalk twenty for sure right on the edge of that but outside top.

"Engine martinez. I don't care what they gotta right down here. Those are the guys hockey. I like him a lot but by damn they gonna break down there ever. I'm sorting by. Adp so average draft position is is how i got it sort right now. Yeah i can't take your martinez that I can't take them that early. If that's the way they treat them more here we can get them later on. Espn i'm gonna tell you this if you're espn fantasy football you if you want your martinez get them in the fish. If you wait to the six you you might not get him because his board looking crazy like this. We're gonna take our pets knicks nurse. I like we don't want adam feeling because he's gonna be battling with Jeff jesse jefferson. I don't do guys like cow. Pits with julio leaving. He's getting all of those targets and we're going to get him unless this next person so we can go ahead and say cockpits. We second cockpits in the seven round. I so now. We got our quarterback only difference with. Espn's you might switch that around right. Gaskins i had to get a little bit earlier than what i want to run. Running back down them and be looking at now is travis From the jaguars or even other jaguars running back. James robison who does work as will also wanna pull up. Marsters will because that's a guy that's going to be kinda sitting around wants to see him you. This is where you could pick anything you want. You can pick wide receiver. You could do whatever because we went running back. Heavy early on were almost forced to get receiver because at the end of the draft. We want three elite looking wide. Receivers can golladay still out there. cooper cub. Let me see odell beckham. You're still out there too. Slow chase play pool. Leonard fournette Poster you talked about masa yup giving seniors do you up keep up. Deebo samuel manufacturer could Queue up justin tucker washington's defense pittsburgh's defense pittsburgh's defense up on the board. Go to any position. Go to go to receive a real quick. I just want to see what is the marchese. Look on board. Because i think that might be our next target. Twenty seven seconds. I think we can get them. We can get caught angie martinez but it's super risky. So you wanna say gala there. We do it. Yeah we could take him now because the next time averaged representing the seventy two. Next time we pick seventy seven. Yes are seven round. pick artists do it. I think we're gonna get golladay engine. We don't want klay pool because the going to odell beckham coming off. Acl saw his workout. Look bad t higgins too many other targets juju smith i will entertain annette chavez as running back. I'm looking for Go all right. Let's go to auto positions before this thing comes back around because we kind of got out of positions on here. So i go down listening. Don't want don't want the q. Them yet gimme a defense. I'll take their defense. I must show you how to get a washington or pittsburgh's defense in every month. You just gotta do at one earlier and you still. Don't get the back in depth guys that you want like the austin hooper's of the world that's like that S crazy you out there but because they drafted They got too much competition for him. I'm gonna tell you. I want the wide receiver for the dolphins Devante parker you could queue him up because he'll be around late. We're going to also queue up matthew staffer in case. We don't get joe. Borough stafford.
